I have a secret garden
I go there when I’m blue
Enchantment lingers there
Flowers of every hue
And beyond the ivy arch
There in the underground
Among the roots of larch
A fairy cave is found
Tiny people live there
With tiny smiling faces
Of me they're unaware
So quiet are my paces
I creep up on their dancing
I watch them at their play
The pixies laughing, prancing
The fairies sing and sway
It fills my heart with warmth and joy
At such a wondrous sight
To see these wee folk, girl and boy
Would gaze on with delight
The daisies swing their heads in time
To the melodious sound
For an elf is playing beneath the lime
While he watches all around
He plays a pipe of reed
On his head a buttercup
The pansies almost breathe
The columbines look up
The foxgloves let out sighs
The robin sings his song
But then a cat arrives
And everyone is gone
It is so silent now
But as I go away
I feel a glow inside
That will last another day
