FAIRY VOICES Last night when fast the rain was falling, Me thought I heard the fairies calling, Yes, calling little seeds so brown That lie a-sleeping in the ground. With voices like the wind a-sighing, "Awake!" and again, "Awake!" I heard them crying; "You sleep too long. Awake," I say, "Tis time to rise and grow today." Seemed then I heard them softly humming, Tiny voices of the seeds a-coming, For they obey the fairy call And haste to answer, one and all. Such crowding, pushing, what a riot! That tiny humming never quiet, Till earth is clothed in carpet green, And all around the flowers are seen. When all the land in rain rejoices, Hear you, with me, those fairy voices? If not, then surely I must say, " 'Tis you that's deaf, not I, today." Alice Peffley Priest (Published in the Auditory Outlook, May 1930). Address (as of 1938); 606 W.
