THE RING CHARM
Reading edition
I HAVE a little charm A gypsy gave to me, To keep me safe from harm, So ugly things can't see When I am all alone. It keeps the 'Fraid all out When trees cry so, and moan, And throw their leaves about. It keeps away the Woops that creep About my bed when I'm asleep. And even by day my charm keeps anything From hurting me, and that is why I love my gypsy-ring More than the ones I buy. The gypsy put it on for me And said some words so strange I knew that they must be Some fairy charm to change The sad things into gay, And keep me safe and well. I wear it every day, For that's to keep the spell. Each morning when I wake, I kiss and turn my ring Three times for sake of luck These wishes bring.
