“ And the child must be better⁠—than gold!
And then if you let her, the quicker, the better,
She’ll make you forget that you’re old.
So if such а child you should chance⁠—to see,
Or with such a child to play,
No matter how tired⁠—or dull you be,
Nor how many tons you weigh,
You will suddenly find that you’re young again,
And your movements light and airy,
And you’ll try to be solemn and stiff in vain⁠—
It’s the spell of the Blue Eyes fairy!
