W<\/strong>hen the snow falls my granddaughters ask me,” Nana where do the fairies go”.<\/em><\/p>\n

C<\/strong>hildren have been asking that question for generations.<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>ere is a wonderful little poem written in 1917 and published in her book “Beyond The Mountain” by Sarah Stokes Halkett that asks the same question in a very delightful way.<\/p>\n

Where do the pretty fairies go<\/em><\/p>\n

When the world is white with snow?<\/em><\/p>\n

I asked the sun, he did not know,<\/em><\/p>\n

He never saw the fairies go.<\/em><\/p>\n

Where do the gentle fairies stay<\/em><\/p>\n

When all the world is cold and gray?<\/em><\/p>\n

I asked the moon, he could not say;<\/em><\/p>\n

He too wonders where the fairies stay.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s lonely when the fairies hide.<\/em><\/p>\n
