The Fairy's Harp

Missing image
Come with me, to the woods again.
In April sun and gentle rain.
Let’s listen to that soft refrain,
The fairy’s harp you’ll hear.

The rippling brook, its music flows.
The soughing leaves, soft tempo knows,
and as their joined crescendo grows,
The fairy’s harp plays near.

There’s magic music all around.
In all the trees, and o'r the ground.
An orchestra of nature's sound.
The fairy’s harp rings clear.

Let’s stay until the silver moon,
is beckoned by the fairy’s tune.
A night of magic, gone too soon.
Such music leaves a tear.

But we can go there any day.
Just close your eyes, let memories stray.
In dreams you’ll gently float away.
The fairy's harp you’ll hear.

    Adore the imagery and the picture alongside this piece. I like the rhyme scheme also, another really good write with great inspiration and nice and fantastical infront of your eyes.

    So beautifully written - your rhyme is exquisite! This captures the "music" one hears when walking silently through the woods. A couple of small errors:

    "An orchestra of natures sound." Should it be nature's?
    "gone to soon." Should be too

    Spotted this in another contest and had to comment on it's beauty...glad you decided to enter it here. In further review; I love the flow of how the music comes closer in the first two stanzas; surrounds in the third; and departs in the fourth. Then the fifth suggests you only need to dream to start the cycle again. I notice the repeated theme of "magic music" which speaks to me as music is air magic and faeries are also of the air. Good luck here, Blue

    This is very pretty and its rhyming is delightfully done with a great rhythm. The repetition of "the fairy's harp" lent a wonderful feel to it. Best of luck in the contest. ~Jim
