April 15th





1507 GLEN TERRACE, ELFLAND

Underneath the willow tree
In the corner of the glen
Lived the sprite Prenalee
And Bill her bumblebee friend

In a dainty toadstool cottage
With gaily painted gables
With roof expertly spotted
In the shape of a one-legged table

Each day she waits in earnest
The day's letter from her lover
The leprechaun Lord Fern-Nest
From the hill of Four-Leaf Clover

When morning's rays break like fetters
Through the cover of the wood
The Mail-Ogre brings the letters
(Long as they're addressed as they should)

And Bill he buzzes gaily
Prenalee glows with light
For the love-notes that come daily
From leprechaun to sprite
