Flower Fairies by Cicely Mary Barker - Traveler's Joy Flower Fairy


The Traveler's Joy Fairy
Traveler, traveler, tramping by
To the seaport where the big ships lie,
See, I have built a shady bower
To shelter you from sun or shower.
Rest for a bit, then on, my boy!
Luck go with you, and Traveler's Joy!
And lo, where I am come indeed,

Traveler, traveler, tramping home
From foreign places beyond the foam,
See, I have hung out a white festoon
To greet the lad with the dusty shoon.
Somewhere a lass looks out for a boy:
Luck be with you, and Traveler's Joy!





 
Traveler's Joy (Clematis Vitalba) Masses of small (2 cm in diameter) creamy-white flowers, borne in panicles, in July-September, followed by glistening, silky seed heads remaining throughout winter. A rampant, familiar climber, which can be seen scrambling over trees and bushes along the roadside. Fully hardy and immune to diseases.
