Fairy Poem "Rushen Glen" and HOPE Fairy art print and quotes

Good Day To All Who Gather in Kindness and Good Intentions! Below is a fabulous poem from Wonder Tales From Fairy Isles. This enchanting book has just come to my attention and I'm on the lookout for a copy of my own. Hard to do since it's out of print ... but the Fae Folk will send a copy my way soon, I just know it. I have to say the older books have a special something ... at least to me they do. So, I hope you enjoy this and be on the lookout for more from this wonderful book.

Rushen Glen
The pale moon wanes,
The morn is cold,
Each Fairy, Elf and Fay
Snug in a flower
Enwraps herself
To wait the broad bright day.
From our flow`ry beds
We rise again
And bathe in the pearly dew`
Then take the air With a butterfly pair
Linked to a petal blue.
The evening comes,
Adown the Streams,
We sail to the Rushen Glen
On a lily leaf—
And meet once more In song and dance again.
-Frances Jenkins Olcott, "Wonder Tales from Fairy Isles", 1929

I have include a picture of my HOPE Fairy. She brings HOPE to our world in which we are all in need of I expect. Below are so absolutely fabulous quotes on HOPE. Enjoy all the good energies.

“Dum spiro, spero (Latin), "While I breath, I hope"” ~Philemon Latin Proverb

“There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.” ~George Eliot

“Hope is the dream of a soul awake.” ~French Proverb

Greetings and Good Intentions To All ! Below is another poem from Mistress Meg, with permission of course. I'll be sure to link to her when she does get a blog. I like her poems, they make me twinkle!

IT’S ME AGAIN !!!
Each day I look and live in hope
Some fairies there?..........Oh nope.
Another day - and no-one here,
A wilting fairy, me, I fear.
And so I slowly fade away,
Perhaps one will come.....another day.
Until then, I’ll bid adieu,
With glittery wishes - from me to you.
~Mistress Meg~


HOPE – that sure is something we all need….how can we live without it? Here are some quotes on hope to give you a bit more if you need it.

“Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, adorns and cheers our way; and still, as darker grows the night, emits a brighter ray.” Oliver Goldsmith (1730-1774)

“Hope is the thing with feathers, which perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all.” ~Emily Dickinson

“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?

I have included my COMFORT Fairy ... still have to create HOPE Fairy in the future ... may you have comfort all of your days, and give comfort and kindness to all that you meet.
