O darling, darling I’m so in love with thee For you must know My veins amber fire My heart an old oak tree I hear soft syllables Standing here Many a year I have watched thee Bending deep Sitting preen O darling you gardener Silent your till When you are near Long do I in reach Yet watch I sun play On brown rich tints Your hair
No longer soft Are my leaves Waning are limbs Slow has been age On English forests edge Whispering in winds Majestic nights Quivering leaves I dreamt of thee Tis I Hama that hides When you are near Many a long day I have loved thee Yet danced in your till Sung among rose splendours Tickling buttercup sparkles O’er golden sun sets Skipping along nights Silvery moonbeams
For you must know O darling, darling I’m in love with thee Creatures of blue skies Have come to die at mine feet From deep beloved forest Poisoned they came to die Darker now my base Yellow my leaves Grandfather sings to me Watching silently My place of passion Dreaming of ancient glories My prison is palace It is time to leave this world To dance with night butterflies And sleep with sparkling mercury Star clad skies Good bye my time is near Remember me For I am with the buttercups Yet blooming as you touch me Your prize white rose that spirits the fence O Darling, darling I’m in love with thee
Dryads (Tree spirits, Tree Ladies, Druidesses, Hamadryads, Sidhe Draoi): These færies come from Celtic countries but are still a worldwide phenomenon. Their element is air, contrary to what may be believed. These particular færies are active all year but are most active at full moons. They are tree dwelling spirits from whom the female druids took their name. These creatures are only referred to as female. They are playful creatures but only seen as enchanting wisps of pure light. When a dryad does make contact you can't be sure whether they are there to help, play, or tease. If they help they are supposed to help you contact divine forces or even work on your magical abilities. They play wonderful music, as well as sing it. No one yet is known to have been harmed by following the music but it may cause you to stay too long in the astral world. If you want to find them go to a grove of trees, preferably with sacred trees of the druids such as willow. Maybe oak, ash, thorn, rowan, birch, and elder trees could find them near.
