Summary

A fairy song composed by the contributor. He describes how he heard the fairy woman knocking on the window one night when he was asleep. He sat up on his elbow in bed, watching her. He describes her in great detail; the way she looked and her voice which was like the mavis in spring. She spoke to him and said that she would never be far from him. She will stack the peat for him and he will not be in need.
