The Fairy Circus
From Going-to-the-Sun (1923)
Mythology & Folklore
A fairy ran a circus
With a pigeon puffed and proud,
A humble bullfrog
And a rather solid cloud.
She wore her underwear,
The rest wore what they had,
The frog wore a blue coat
Just like his dad.
The pigeon wore his feathers
And spread himself--O My!
The cloud wore sunshine
He gathered in the sky.
