Never before released beyond a cassette, presented in early/mid 1990s: this is my melody that I set to a poem 'A Fairy Song' by John Keats. The tape was for a commission by Anne Atkins, proprietor of the world's first fairy shop/ storytelling venue, Wonderwings, in Richmond, Australia, where I worked as a singer-storyteller.

lyrics

Shed no tear, oh shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year
Weep no more, oh weep no more!
The young buds sleep in the roots white core.

Dry your eyes, oh dry your eyes!
For I was taught in paradise
To ease my breast of melodies
Beyond a fairy's memory.

Overhead, look overhead!
Beyond the blossoms white and red
Oh shed no tear, oh shed no tear
For the flower will bloom another year.
