Here you will find the Poem The Fairies Break Their Dances of poet Alfred Edward Housman

The Fairies Break Their Dances

The fairies break their dances 
And leave the printed lawn, 
And up from India glances 
The silver sail of dawn. 

The candles burn their sockets, 
The blinds let through the day, 
The young man feels his pockets 
And wonders what's to pay.
