` Mong the green trees was it whispered , And the bright waves bore it on To the lonely forest flowers , Where the glad news had not gone . Thus the Frost-King lost his kingdom , And his power to harm and blight . Violet conquered , and his cold heart Warmed with music , love , and light ; And his fair home , once so dreary , Gay with lovely Elves and flowers , Brought a joy that never faded Through the long bright summer hours . Thus , by Violet 's magic power , All dark shadows passed away , And o'er the home of happy flowers The golden light for ever lay . Thus the Fairy mission ended , And all Flower-Land was taught The `` Power of Love , '' by gentle deeds That little Violet wrought . As Sunny Lock ceased , another little Elf came forward ; and this was the tale `` Silver Wing '' told . EVA 'S VISIT TO FAIRY-LAND . DOWN among the grass and fragrant clover lay little Eva by the brook-side , watching the bright waves , as they went singing by under the drooping flowers that grew on its banks . As she was wondering where the waters went , she heard a faint , low sound , as of far-off music . She thought it was the wind , but not a leaf was stirring , and soon through the rippling water came a strange little boat . It was a lily of the valley , whose tall stem formed the mast , while the broad leaves that rose from the roots , and drooped again till they reached the water , were filled with gay little Elves , who danced to the music of the silver lily-bells above , that rang a merry peal , and filled the air with their fragrant breath . On came the fairy boat , till it reached a moss-grown rock ; and here it stopped , while the Fairies rested beneath the violet-leaves , and sang with the dancing waves . Eva looked with wonder on their gay faces and bright garments , and in the joy of her heart sang too , and threw crimson fruit for the little folks to feast upon . They looked kindly on the child , and , after whispering long among themselves , two little bright-eyed Elves flew over the shining water , and , lighting on the clover-blossoms , said gently , `` Little maiden , many thanks for your kindness ; and our Queen bids us ask if you will go with us to Fairy-Land , and learn what we can teach you . '' `` Gladly would I go with you , dear Fairies , '' said Eva , `` but I can not sail in your little boat . See ! I can hold you in my hand , and could not live among you without harming your tiny kingdom , I am so large . '' Then the Elves laughed gayly , as they folded their arms about her , saying , `` You are a good child , dear Eva , to fear doing harm to those weaker than yourself . You can not hurt us now . Look in the water and see what we have done . ''
