This was written as a poetry response to Yeat's "Stolen Child"
Deep within enchanted stone
Carved from sweat and pain
Where icy winds do twist and moan
There the winter court does reign
Stolen hearts and misspent youth
Hold court in these frozen halls
Twisted words and unpleasant truth
Form invisible iron walls
Never trust a fairy child
When you venture to the wild

Summer fades to winter bleak
Where nature holds her sway
She is no conquered meek
Within the lands of fae
Summer fades to winter cruel
Frost rise to the land ensnare
Where the winter queen does rule
The queen of dark and air
Never trust a fairy child
When you venture to the wild

Summer is a time of joy
And faeries laugh and sing
Such trickery they employ
Pretty words to hide the sting
Promises of song and dance
Yet the ending of the day
Though the beauty can entrance
Night falls even on the fae
Never trust a fairy child
When you venture to the wild
