Too late tliey come, too late for you, TJ iese old friends tliat are ever new, Enchanted in our volume blue, For you erenow Jiave wandered oer A u-orld of tales untold of yore, And learned tlie later fairy-lore !N ay, as within her briery brake The Sleeping Beauty did awake, Old tales may rouse tliem for your sake, And you once more may voyage through Tlie forests that of old we knew, Tlie fairy forests deep in dew, Wlwre, you, resuming childish things, Shall listen ivhen tlie Blue Bird sings, And sit at feast with fairy Kings, And taste their wine, ere all be done, And face more welcome shall be none A mong tlie guests of Oberon. A y, of that feast slwll tales be told, The marvels of that world of gold, To children young, wlien you are old.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
