Fore-Word

In the land of Far-away, In the time of Used-to-be, Wonders happened, so folk say, Which we all should like to see.

But perhaps, if we knew how, In the pleasant land of Here, In the lovely time of Now, We could witness sights as queer.

Oh, for Faith without an end, And the blessed eyes to see! Let us beg the Fairies send Such a gift to You and Me.
