Song of the Blue Plumbago Fairy

Song of the Blue Plumbago Fairy

I am the fairy fair

Of blue plumbago flowers

You cannot help but stare

At my star-speckled bowers.

Each petal blue as sky

Reminds of sun and sea.

Reflecting heaven high,

I bless eternally.

In time it's true I'll die,

All beauty here must fade.

Of this I know and sigh,

But love, for love I'm made.

So let me touch your hair

And dance with you a round

Without a fear or care,

We're heaven, heaven-bound.
