The Rose Fairy

 



Best and dearest flower that grows,

Perfect both to see and smell;

Words can never, never tell

Half the beauty of the Rose-





Buds that open to disclose

Fold on fold of purest white,

Lovely pink or red that glows

Deep, sweet-scented. What delight

To be Fairy of the Rose!


"The Rose Fairy"
Poem & Illustration by
Cecily Mary Barker
(1895-1973)
The official portrait painter
of the English flower fairies
