Down-Adown-Derry: A Book of Fairy Poems

A hush falls over the hills as delicate verses summon the secret world of sprites and moonlit glades. The opening poem invites listeners to hear fairies twirl in a silvered ring before dawn’s first firelight, their song echoing through bramble‑capped dew and starlit skies. With gentle rhythm and vivid imagery, the collection captures that fleeting moment when the natural and the supernatural brush shoulders, leaving a lingering sense of wonder.

Across the anthology, each piece unfolds a different facet of fairy folklore—dream‑songs that glide between sunlight and twilight, mischievous verses about sneezes that might summon unseen elves, and reflective musings on ghostly reflections of the self. From the haunting “Unfinished Dream” that wanders through unseen valleys to the playful “Horn” that hints at elfin music, the poems weave humor, melancholy, and awe into a tapestry that feels both timeless and child‑like. Listeners will be carried on a lyrical journey through enchanted woods, glittering meadows, and the soft sighs of unseen beings.
