Walter de la Mare - The Mocking Fairy
Work rating: Medium

	`Won`t you look out of your window, Mrs. Gill?`
	Quoth the Fairy, nidding, nodding in the garden;
	`Can`t you look out of your window, Mrs. Gill?`
	Quoth the Fairy, laughing softly in the garden;
	But the air was still, the cherry boughs were still,
	And the ivy-tod neath the empty sill,
	And never from her window looked out Mrs. Gill
	On the Fairy shrilly mocking in the garden.

	`What have they done with you, you poor Mrs. Gill?`
	Quoth the Fairy brightly glancing in the garden;
	`Where have they hidden you, you poor old Mrs. Gill?`
	Quoth the Fairy dancing lightly in the garden;
	But night`s faint veil now wrapped the hill,
	Stark `neath the stars stood the dead-still Mill,
	And out of her cold cottage never answered Mrs. Gill
	The Fairy mimbling, mambling in the garden.
