Weather-glasses on the walls
Hang in wealthy people’s halls:
Though I lie where cart-wheels pass
I’m the Poor Man’s Weather-Glass!

The Speedwell Fairy
🍃💙🍃💙🍃💙🍃💙🍃

“Clear blue are the skies;
My petals are blue;
As beautiful, too,
As bluest of eyes.
The heavens are high:
By the field-path I grow
Where wayfarers go,
And “Good speed,” say I…”
—Cicely Mary Barker

And clinging, twisting, up I creep,
And climb towards the sky…

If everyone decides to leave Twitter, can we least all agree to go together to an enchanted forest where we tend to woodland creatures and wild plants. We could even form a band. Who's with me?

The Lily-of-the-Valley Fairy

Gentle fairies, hush your singing:
Can you hear my white bells ringing,
Ringing as from far away?
Who can tell me what they say?
