"'Years!' said a voice close by, It was an aged monk who spoke, From a bench of oak Fastened against the wall;-- He was the oldest monk of all. For a whole century He had been there, Serving God in prayer, The meekest and humblest of his creatures, He remembered well the features Of Felix, and he said, 'One hundred years ago, When I was a novice in this place There was here a monk, full of God's grace, Who bore the name Of Felix, and this man must be the same.' "And straightway They brought forth to the light of day A volume old and brown, A huge tome bound In brass and wild-boar's hide. Wherein were written down The names of all who had died In the convent, since it was edified. And there they found, Just as the old Monk said, That on a certain day and date, One hundred years before, Had gone forth from the convent gate The monk Felix, and never more Had he entered that sacred door He had been counted among the dead! And they knew, at last, That such had been the power Of that celestial and immortal song, A hundred years had passed, And had not seemed so long As a single hour!" In the stories I have already given those who fell into the hands of the Fairies were rescued or returned from them after a certain period of time; but I have heard some stories in which the victim never returned. A woman at Pontshan, Llandyssul, in Cardiganshire, related to me a story of a servant girl in that neighbourhood who was captured by the Fairies and never returned home again. A few months ago another tale of this kind was related to me at Llanrhystyd: A LLANRHYSTYD MAID LOST AMONG THE FAIRIES. Mr David Morgan, Carpenter, Llanrhystyd, informed me that some years ago the maid servant of Pencareg Farm in the neighbourhood, went out one evening to bring home the cattle which were grazing some distance away from the house. A boy employed to look after the cattle in the day-time known as "bugail bach," saw the Fairies dragging the maid into their circle or ring, where she joined them in their dances. Search was made for her everywhere, but she was never seen again. SHUI RHYS AND THE FAIRIES.
