Please help! I have been looking for the name or author of this Poem for years!!?

Question

It's actually 2 poems (possibly by the same person) here are some of the lines I remember:

1) When Mother comes each morning, she wears her oldest things, she doesn't make a russle she hasn't any rings.
When Mother comes at tea time....
When Mother comes at bedtime, her evening dress she wears, she kisses each our foreheads and helps us say our prayers....

2) Blind folk see the faeries, oh better far than we.......because our eyes are filled with things we do not wish to see
Deaf folk hear the faeries, how ever soft their song ......

They were poems in a little blue book I had as a girl - it went missing many years ago and I've been looking for the name of the poems or their author ever since.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated!!

Answer 2

Unchained melody is absolutely right. They are both by Rose Fyleman, who wrote many small poems for children. I am quoting all of the poem entitled "Mother" from the site unchained melody quoted. Thanks for asking the question. I enjoyed researching it and reading some of Fyleman's poems. By the way, try Alibris.com or ebay antiquarian books to see if you can't replace that little book.

When Mother comes each morning
She wears her oldest things,
She doesn't make a rustle,
She hasn't any rings;
She says, "Good-morning, chickies,
It's such a lovely day,
Let's go into the garden
And have a game of play!"

When mother comes at tea-time
her dress goes shoo-shoo-shoo,
She always has a little bag,
Sometimes a sunshade too;
She says "I'm so hoping
There's something left for me;
Please hurry up dear Nanna
I am dying for my tea

When mother comes at
Bed-time
Her evening dress she wears,
She tells us each a story
When we have said our prayers;
And if there is a party
She looks so shiny bright
Its like a lovely fairy
Dropped in to say good night.

The second one is called 'Blind Folk see the Fairies' by Rose Fyleman. Don't know the first one.
