It was very early , and the house was still . The sun was just rising , and the morning-glories at the window were turning their blue and purple cups to catch the welcome light . The sky was full of rosy clouds ; dew shone like diamonds on the waving grass , and the birds were singing as they only sing at dawn . But softer , sweeter than any bird-voice was the delicate music which Daisy heard . So airy and gay was the sound , it seemed impossible to lie still with that fairy dancing-tune echoing through the room . Out of bed scrambled Daisy , her sleepy eyes opening wider and wider with surprise and pleasure as she listened and wondered . `` Where is it ? '' she said , popping her head out of the window . The morning-glories only danced lightly on their stems , the robins chirped shrilly in the garden below , and the wind gave Daisy a kiss ; but none of them answered her , and still the lovely music sounded close beside her . `` It 's a new kind of bird , perhaps ; or maybe it 's a fairy hidden somewhere . Oh , if it is how splendid it will be ! '' cried Daisy ; and she began to look carefully in all the colored cups , under the leaves of the woodbine , and in the wren 's nest close by . There was neither fairy nor bird to be seen ; and Daisy stood wondering , when a voice cried out from below : `` Why , little nightcap , what brings you out of your bed so early ? '' `` O Aunt Wee ! do you hear it -- that pretty music playing somewhere near ! I ca n't find it ; but I think it 's a fairy , do n't you ? '' said Daisy , looking down at the young lady standing in the garden with her hands full of roses . Aunt Wee listened , smiled , and shook her head . `` Do n't you remember you said last night that you thought the world a very stupid , grown-up place , because there were no giants and fairies in it now ? Well , perhaps there are fairies , and they are going to show themselves to you , if you watch well . ''
XXXXX clapped her hands , and danced about on her little bare feet ; for , of all things in the world , she most wanted to see a fairy .
