A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Madge Morris Wagner

Whisper to him, fairies, whisper—
  Whisper softly in his ear
That some one is waiting, waiting,
  Listening his step to hear.

Fairies, if he knew his presence
  Would a demon’s spell allay,
Would he heed your timid whisperings?
  Would he—will he come to-day?
                                        REVENITA.

What are tags?
