Hailey Precious

Never go into the moor at night,
Especially after the rain.
He who does sees a glowing light
And is never seen again.

Precious Hailey went across the moor
In a shower of rain
To visit her mother, frail and poor,
And was never seen again.

Where did Hailey go, dear?
Where did precious Hailey go?
Where is Hailey, precious?
Perhaps we'll never know.

"Beware, Hailey precious, of the moor, beware!
If you must go at night,
Then please avoid a glowing light.
Now, best wishes, and take care!"

Hailey precious walked through the night,
Through the fog and rain.
She was met with a most curious sight,
And was never seen again.

Where did Hailey go, dear?
Where did precious Hailey go?
Where is Hailey, precious?
Perhaps we'll never know.

What did precious Hailey meet?
An orb of light
With a child's voice--so sweet!
It shined bright
And danced merrily at her feet.

The will-o-the-wisp glowed bright
She didn't look where she stepped.
She followed, attracted to its light
The faerie orb skipped and leapt.

The grass was wet from the rain
She stepped into a faerie ring.
Transfixed, she heard the faeries sing,
And was never seen again.

Where did Hailey go, dear?
Where did precious Hailey go?
Where is Hailey, precious?
Perhaps we'll never know...
