Excerpt from The Elfin Artist: And Other Poems The Elfin Artist In a glade of an elfin forest When Sussex was Eden-new, I came on an elvish painter And watched as his picture grew. A harebell nodded beside him. He dipt his brush in the dew. And it might be the wild thyme round him That shone in that dark strange ring; But his brushes were bees' antennae, His knife was a wasp's blue sting; And his gorgeous exquisite palette Was a butterfly's fan-shaped wing. And he mingled its powdery colours And painted the lights that pass, On a delicate cobweb canvas That gleamed like a magic glass, And bloomed like a banner of elf-land, Between two stalks of grass; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
