Fairies dance round as she sleeps through the night
Her presence a gift to the fairies delight
She wandered the forest alone in the dark
And fell asleep neath the moon with a weary heart

They found her asleep neath a canopy of trees
Covered with ivy and flowers and leaves
The stars twinkled brightly as they peered down below
The light from the moon made her face all aglow

Never before had they seen such a sight
A woman in human form with a light that shone bright
They marveled at her beauty and her flaming red hair
And a mark that distinquished her as one of theirs

They guarded her silently thoughout the long night
Touching her softly they covered her with light
Safe in the forest, she slept with great peace
Oblivious to the fairies that guarded her sleep
