The Fairy Artist
The Fairy Artist
Poem
Oh, there is a little artist
Who paints in the cold night hours
Pictures for little children
Of wondrous trees and flowers!
Pictures of snow-white mountains
Touching the snow-white sky;
Pictures of distant oceans
Where pretty ships sail by.
Pictures of rushing rivers
By fairy bridges spanned;
Bits of beautiful landscape
Copied from elfin land.
The moon is the lamp he paints by;
His canvas the window pane;
His brush is a frozen snowflake;
Jack Frost the artist's name.
