Analysis of Fairy Bread
Robert Louis Stevenson 1850 (Edinburgh) – 1894 (Vailima, Samoa)
Come up here, O dusty feet!
Here is fairy ready to eat.
Here in my retiring room,
Children ,you may dine
On the golden smell of broom
And the shade of pine;
And when you have eaten well,
Fairy stories hear and tell.
