A little snippet from The Little Green Road to Fairyland book written by Annie R. Rentoul:

Beyond the little mossy door

There lies a sea of golden light

And far away the shining shore

Of Fairyland gleams bight

Oh love is there

And faith and joy

And burning hope and radiant truth

And every little broken toy

And the lost dreams of youth

Beyond the little mossy door

Our fairy dreams like flowers unfold

And when they waken nevermore

We leave the land of gold

The door is only fairy sized

And misty mortal eyes are blind

But if a child has shiny eyes

The door is clear to find
