The Zankiwank and The Bletherwitch: An Original Fantastic Fairy Extravaganza

by S. J. Adair Fitz-Gerald

  Part I

  A Trip to Fable Land

  _By the Queen-Moon's mystic light, By the hush of holy night, By the woodland deep and green, By the starlight's silver sheen, By the zephyr's whispered spell, Brooding Powers Invisible, Faerie Court and Elfin Throng, Unto whom the groves belong, And by Laws of ancient date, Found in Scrolls of Faerie Fate, Stream and fount are dedicate. Whereso'er your feet to-day Far from haunts of men may stray, We adjure you stay no more Exiles on an alien shore, But with spells of magic birth Once again make glad the earth._ PHILIP DAYRE.
