I'd Love to Be a Fairy's Child

Hey y'all! I'm in Dubai right now... and I've been catching up with some school work! Here's a really nice poem I found while doing my English work...

I'd Love to Be a Fairy's Child by Robert Graves
CHILDREN born of fairy stock
Never need for shirt or frock,
Never want for food or fire,
Always get their heart’s desire:
Jingle pockets full of gold, 5
Marry when they’re seven years old.
Every fairy child may keep
Two strong ponies and ten sheep;
All have houses, each his own,
Built of brick or granite stone; 10
They live on cherries, they run wild—
I’d love to be a Fairy’s child.
