Here’s a few fairy pngs I made from Cicely Mary Barker’s artwork. Feel free to use them!

The Moon Before Morning, W.S. Merwin (2014)

Footholds

“while the green clouds of the trees have grown / above their mingled shadows”

//

Beginners

“As though it had always been forbidden to remember / each of us grew up / knowing nothing about the beginning”

“and from forgotten happiness we know / that the day we wake to is our own”

//

The Color They Come To

“curled in its own color”

//

Looking Up in the Garden

“These trees have no names / whatever we call them”

//

Coming of Age

“the sunbeam on the scuffed stairs / in the soundless house”

//

Another To Echo

“and the words were made / listening”

//

Among the Shadows at Home

“Life after life at nightfall / in houses I have loved”

//

Old Plum Tree

“How long were you there / before I remembered you / as the birds did each year”

//

Wild Oats

“In my youth I believed in somewhere else / I put faith in travel / now I am becoming my own tree”

//

Voice of Summer

“where is it now / listening / beyond the sheep grazing / in the long shadows”
