Wondrous tales of gnome and elf,
Oft drew pictures for herself,
Fanciful as they could be:
Two are here for you to see.

This is Peace: a little maiden
Who has gleaned all through the day,
Going home with arms well laden,
When the sunlight fades away.

Threatened by a wasp that stings,
Getting ready soon to smother
That fierce yellow thing with wings.

All the words the sign-post tells.

"Though your album you may fill
With our portraits, understand
Hundreds more await you still
Here in wondrous Fairyland."
