fairy jacket

[asakiyume]

I found a fairy jacket, hanging on a bush, and thought of "Scarborough Fair."



Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Sewn without seams or fine needlework,
If she would be a true love of mine.

Tell her to wash it in yonder well,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Where never spring water or rain ever fell,
And she shall be a true lover of mine.

Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme;
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born,
Then she shall be a true lover of mine.

That is such a perfect tiny jacket! I wonder how its owner lost it. One of the sides is shorter than the other, so I'm seeing a near escape from a cat. She thought she had the fairy, but no! only the jacket.

I could just imagine it at human size--it would be that gossamer fabric that requires you wear an undershirt underneath.
