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, 
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; 
They live on cherries, they run wild-- 
I'd love to be a Fairy's child. 

British author RobertGraves  fought for Great Britain in the First World War, and became one of the finest poets to emerge from that conflict. "Fairies and Fusiliers" collects poems written during World War I, when Graves served in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers on the Western Front.
