Midsummer Magic

Magical summer evenings heal your soul

Dainty flowers start to close in the dusk

yellow and white roses have more intense perfume in the evening

On a warm Midsummer evening

There is magic in the air

Fairy folk are sprinkling

Star dust everywhere.

Glow worms weave their lanterns

Through the branches hanging low

Snails leave silver ribbons

To show you where to go.

There's a party in the clearing

In the middle of the wood

The crickets play sweet melodies

To create a happy mood.

The bees concoct a potion

With honey, thyme  and dew

They pour it into foxgloves

Then offer it to you.

The roses cast their petals

Sweet and soft they fall

They'll be the fairies dresses

For the magic Summer Ball.

Listen for their music 

As you gently tread along,

Among the ferns and heather

You may hear their summer song.

Breathe deeply in the velvet air

Feel the magic of the night

The world is painted silver

The moon is shining bright.

There's magic in the twilight

You may hear a fairy's bell

A fluttering of little wings

Some footsteps in the dell.

 

Foxgloves look like fairies' gowns but be careful, some say they are poisonous
