The lamp that stands beside the crib	A
Is not yet lighted to warm the gloom	B
Of the blueish opaque light falling	C
Through the curtains of late afternoon	D
	-
From outside come unfamiliar sounds	E
And weary children interrupt their play	F
While in every corner of the house	G
Fairies awaken at the end of day	F
	-
Shadows gathering among the drapes	H
Rustle and murmur to childish ears	I
And from the pages of their storybooks	J
Come all their favorite characters	K
	-
First industrious Rin Rin Renacuajo	L
And Mouse P rez scurrying to survive	M
Then casting even deeper shadows	N
Blue Beard who killed his seven wives	O
	-
Given life in darkest corners	K
Somewhere in a distant wood	P
Puss in Boots strides through the meadows	N
And the Wolf stalks Little Red Ridinghood	P
	-
In a deep dark forest echoing	C
With chilling howls the handsome Prince	Q
On his white charger rides toward	P
Sleeping Beauty who awaits his kiss	R
	-
The children s voices silver and pure	S
Form a chorus that speaks as one	T
Then they went to the ball and left	P
Poor Cinderella all alone	U
	-
She wiped away her flowing tears	V
And scrubbed the kitchen pots and bowls	W
Watching the dance leaping among	X
Somber shadows and glowing coals	W
	-
But her fairy godmother soon appeared	P
With a beauteous gown and in a thrice	Y
From a pumpkin produced a golden coach	Z
With prancing steeds once six white mice	Y
	-
She gave Cinderella a lush bouquet	P
And a glass slipper she quickly donned	P
She turned ashes to flashing jewels	A2
With one wave of her magic wand	P
	-
Abandoned dolls tossed on the carpet	P
The listening girls sit in thrall	B2
The light grows pale and dark creeps in	C2
As lowering evening shadows fall	B2
	-
Wondrous stories of fairies and sprites	A2
Are alive with ideas and fantasies	A2
They open to childish imaginations	A2
A whole world of possibilities	A2
	-
Stories born of times long gone	D2
Wing through the dark of ages	A2
From powerful early Aryan tribes	A2
To diminished future races	A2
	-
These stories are told by nannies	A2
When children can t get to sleep	E2
The essence of poetic dream	F2
Is the mystery they keep	E2
	-
These stories have proved more lasting	C
Than tomes of the philosophers	A2
And with every generation	T
Have entertained our ancestors	A2
	-
O tales of elves and ghosts and fairies	A2
That people the dreams all children have	G2
Time buries you forever in our soul	H2
And man evokes you with his love	I2
