In the middle of the forest

on a peaceful eve,

in the warm calm wind

mauve trees sway their leaves.

 

Trees whisper to each other,

whisha whisha whish,

and in the sparkling waterfall

swim the glittering fish.

 

The bronze tree trunks have patterns

that glisten in the night,

rosellas swoop above

hanging fairy lights.

 

For tonight a fairy party

will take place beside the lake.

on top a toadstool house

will stand a ten-tiered cake.

 

And then when midnight comes,

they through the forest fly

and ride up on a star,

up to the deep night sky.
