(This is the third and final section of this poem, which ideally should be read with all six verses in order. The other two sections were posted in the two days preceding this post)
The celebration lasted through the night
as fauns played flutes and larks joined in with glee.
Each brownie, pixie, impish elf and sprite
danced minuets and waltzed in harmony.
And then, to my incredible delight,
into their circle they invited me.
We offered toasts with dandelion wine
and bid the couple live in love divine.
But as with all good things, there comes the time
when music stops and diners leave the feast,
so as the sun began its steady climb,
all worn out guests departed, fay and beast.
Now I am left with memories to rhyme
as I have from fay's magic been released.
Small secrets of the fairies I've revealed,
but you shall never know what I've concealed.
