The Wood Sorrel Fairy

In the wood the trees are tall,
Up and up they tower;
You and I are very small—
Fairy-child and flower.

Bracken stalks are shooting high,
Far and far above us;
We are little, you and I,
But the fairies love us.

(🎨 & 🖊️ C M Barker)

In Romanian mythology, the iele are feminine mythical creatures often described as faeries. They are said to live in the sky, in forests or in caves, and reported to have been seen bathing at crossroads. From this point of view, the Iele are similar to Hecate.
