The Seagull Fairy –  by Nancy B. Brewer 

On a special morning bight and airy,

Just after dawn if you do not tarry,

You might catch a glimpse of the Seagull Fairy.

Down by the seaside—Down by the seaside

 

 

She is the keeper of all the white ocean flock,

She calls and commands them to land upon her rock.

With small talk she speaks, but comprehend you will not.

Down by the seaside—Down by the seaside

 

To her the birds do not look one and the same,

And to each feathered friend she  gives a special name,

There is snowy, sparkle and even candle- flame.

Down by the seaside—Down by the seaside

None shy her and all are gentle and tame,

If a feather be broken or a foot be maimed,

Caring for her flock is the Seagull Fairy’s only aim.

Down by the Seaside—Down by the Seaside

With her they share fresh fish and seaweed she dines,

They keep her warn and groom her hair until it shines,

Then on their backs she soars the crystal coastlines.

Down by the Seaside—Down by the Seaside

Her shimmering wings are blue as the sea,

While her sweet face just like a child it be,

But she is much older than you and me.

Down by the Seaside—Down by the Seaside

A marvel to see in a feather dress of sea pink,

But take care not to shout, blink or catch a wink,

For she is sure to take flight with just a twitch.

Down by the Seaside—Down by the Seaside

The Seagull Fairy you may never expect to see,

But if magical and wondrous things you believe,

One day you might be just as lucky as me.

Down by the Seaside—Down by the Seaside
