THE TREASURE

In the forest darkness there dwells a little elf.
Quietly he's creeping and tries to hide himself.
Ever so slowly he ventures through the night,
Looking for a treasure that's hidden out of sight.

Fairly Marigolden, she sees him down below.
Quietly she watches to see where he will go.
Curiosity, grabs a hold of her,
So she decides to follow him to see what will occur.

Soon Little Elfie Greenie he digs a real deep hole.
Carries up a box that contains a lot of gold.
Carefully he covers it and steals on through the night,
Back to his elf dwelling he runs with all his might.

Then Little Elfie Greenie he opens up the box.
Out popped Marigolden, what a paradox!
"I don't know how you got here, Elfie Greenie did say, 
But you I'd rather have than treasure any day!"

"Don't know how I got here, Marigolden did reply.
Must be some kind of magic, this I don't deny.
But I am glad to meet you, Marigolden is my name."
"And I am Elfie Greenie, so happy that you came."

Soon Little Elfie Greenie and Fairy Marigolden,
Got married shortly after and had many happy children.
So you see that friendship and love is better than gold.
The heart is the true treasure, most beautiful to behold!
