Text Appearing Before Image: IX was dark when we stopped at the Fairy-Land bars,And over our heads there were millions of stars;And I was quite frightened, but Jimmy looked bold,And Alice just shivered—she said it was cold. We timfdly knocked, and then, just as I feared They would not let us in, lo! the bars disappeared, And the stars dropped right down from the sky, and behold! Each one was a lamp for a fairy to hold. And the fairies went dancing like leaves in the wind.,And beckoned to us as we crept on behind;And queer little faces, brimful of surprise,Looked out of the darkness with queer little eyes. Text Appearing After Image: But O the sweet fairies! I never could tell Of the rose-hues we saw in that wonderful dell— The daffodil-yellow, the purple and green, But the sweetest of all was the lily-white Queen. They sang of the land of the Sugary Dews,Where children may eat a whole pie, if they choose-,A wonderful land, which some day we shall see,If the Shining Way leads us—Jim, Alice and me. O we shouted with glee! and then to our surpriseThe stars drifted back again into the skies,The fairies all vanished, I covered my head,—And when I looked up, we were all three in bed Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
