"The Fairy Dance" by Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach

Introduction

This image made me think of Irish and Welsh mythology, so I have decided on an ekphrastic casbairdne for the form, which, although quite short, is a very difficult form, and this is my first attempt. I did find this very hard, but hopefully I made it work.

I saw this magical paunting shared by The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook here:

The music is "The Fairy Dance" by Bonnie Grace

See Those Lights In The Forest

Yes, Fairies That Dance Tonight

Like Magic, Their Bright Wings Shine

Mystic Beings In Fine Light

In A Sea Of Blue, They Fly

By Night These Fae Are So Free

This Is Their Realm, Heed Their Call

Fairy Dance No Man Shall See
