When I was young, My ma would say: "Beware the Sidhe And Faerie Rings." When I was young? When I was young, My ma would say: "Bring tea and cakes So they'll be gay." When was I young? When I was young, My ma would say: "They'll keep you safe, Or take you 'way." Am I human?      *"Alabaster!      I am Leannán.      This one whispered      To you, sweet boy."* Alabaster?      *"Your name! Your name!      Your spirit i claimed.      A vow you made,      And now you've paid."* With you I'll stay!      *"Among my folk?      Keep fast your yoke,      Or flesh will fade      And farewells bade."* A song! A song!      *"Your song, my love,       You've sang it well,      And flowers laid      For our parade."* When I was young, My ma would say: "Beware the Sidhe And Faerie Rings." When I was young, My ma would say: "Bring tea and cakes So they'll be gay." When i was young, My ma would say: "They'll keep you safe, Or take you 'way."      *A Faerie Friend      Forever more.*
