White Clover Fairy

by Cicily Mary Barker

I’m little White Clover, kind and clean;
Look at my threefold leaves so green;
Hark to the buzzing of hungry bees:
“Give us your honey, Clover, please!”
Yes, little bees, and welcome, too!
My honey is good, and meant for you!

 

 

Note: Barker loved wildflowers, but she didn't believe in fairies.
