In Literature 4, students use inspiration from Faerie Gold to write their own fairy tales. Read rising 5th-grader Luke Boer’s rendition here.

Aglow in the night

Transparent in the light

Your beauty reflects off the crashing wave

You penetrate the dark

Like fire from a spark

You shine above like a lantern in a cave

You comfort me tonight

When nothing here is right

There is chaos in the world, you see

You replace the blazing sun

And make the world more fun

Everything is wild when you cease to be

But through the pitch black sky

All my fear flys by

When I see your brightness way up there

And so when things go wrong

I sing this hopeful song

And look up through the misty air

And I see the moon
