Rosamund	A
	-
The fairies have been busy while you slept	B
They have been laughing where the sad rain wept	B
They have taught Beauty to the ignorant flowers	C
Set tasks of hope to weary wind torn bowers	C
And heard the lessons learned in school rooms cold	D
By seedling snapdragon and marigold	D
At dawn while still you slept I grew aware	E
How good the fairies are how many and fair	E
	-
The fairy whose delightful gown is red	F
Across a corner of our garden sped	F
And where her flying raiment fluttered past	G
Its roseate reflection still is cast	G
Red poppies by the rhododendron's side	H
Paeonies gorgeous in their summer pride	H
And red may bushes by the old red wall	I
Shower down their crimson petals over all	I
	-
Then she whose gown is gold and gold her hair	E
Swept down the golden steep straight sunbeam stair	E
She lit the tulip lamps she lit the torch	J
Of hollyhock beside the cottage porch	J
She dressed the honeysuckle in fringe of gold	D
She gave the king cups fairy wealth to hold	D
She kissed St John's wort till it opened wide	H
She set the yarrow by the river side	H
	-
Then came the lady all whose robes are white	K
She made the pale buds blossom in delight	K
Set silver stars upon the jasmine's hair	E
And gave the stream white lily buds to wear	E
She painted lilies white and pearl white phlox	C
White poppies passion flowers and gray leaved stocks	C
Her pure kind touch redeemed the most forlorn	L
And even the vile petunia smiled new born	L
	-
The dearest fairy of all green is her gown	M
She kissed the plane trees in the tiresome town	M
She smoothed the pastures and the lawn's pale sheen	N
She decked the boughs with hangings fresh and green	N
She showed each flower the one and only way	O
Its beauty of shape and colour to display	O
She taught the world to be a Paradise	C
Of changing leaf and blade for tired eyes	C
	-
Then one and all they came where you were laid	P
In your strait bed my little lovely maid	P
The red robed fairy kissed your lips your face	C
The white robed made your heart her dwelling place	C
Into your eyes the green robed fairy smiled	Q
The golden fairy touched your dreams my child	Q
And one not named but mightiest made my Dear	R
The innermost rose of the re flowered year	R
