AS TO FAIRIES AND PIRATES (A little childs answer to the question, Do you believe in fairies?) BY J. WARREN MERRILL No, I dont believe in fairies, but I watch close when I passThrough the woods and all the meadows and the flowers and the if there should be fairies (and the old folks may not know,And it seems as if there must be) I should love to see one so!And I dont believe in pirates—only sometimes in the night,When the house seems strange and silent, and there is nt any light,I creep down in the bedclothes and I feel a sort of thrill—?For grown folks might be mistaken and there may be pirates still.
