Dandelions in the Snow.

The Sexton

A/N : For all those who do not know, a sexton is a person who looks after a church and churchyard, typically acting as bell-ringer and gravedigger.

The fairies peek out,

In the silent morn,

To play among dandelions and daises and roses;

For( at all times) ,

The garden is the only garden ——-

Deserted.

They dance from dawn to dusk

Singing, leaping, laughing, flying;

Among dandelions and daises and roses

'Ver strange silent witnesses

For the garden is the only garden ——-

Deserted

They retreat after,

Into their mystic caves ,

With dandelions and daises and roses,

Peeking not till the silent approach of dawn,

For the fear of souls walking ——-

Condemned.

They dare not tread into the garden,

in the dark of the night,

in the absence of light

For the fear of souls walking ——-

Condemned.

But one soul ( they notice) ,

Still alive, still awake( they notice)

For neither fear ( of spirits)

Nor joy ( of play)

Come into the garden,

Nights and some days, 

To dig up the earth,

To uproot the dandelions and daises and roses,

To bury the dead.
