Do not fret, my maiden child,
the fay will come again.
They have departed for willow halls,
But will return, my friend.
Do not cry, my maiden child
your pumpkin carriage awaits
to take you to your elven prince
behind sunflower gates.
Slumber now, my maiden child
spring will come anew.
Every rose shall be in bloom,
but none so fair as you.

I absolutely loved this. The rhyming didn't seem forced, no grammatical errors, to top it all off; it was just so enticing. Short, but sweet. Thanks for entering and good luck!
