Aelfscyne ('beautiful as a fairy') is an otherworldly enchantment of luminescent white amber, meadowsweet, wood hyacinth, Lonicera, woodbine, sweetfern, Cashmeran wood and delicate green tea.
The mist has left the greening plain,
The dew-drops shine like fairy rain,
The coquette rose awakes again
Her lovely self adorning.
The Wind is hiding in the trees,
A sighing, soothing, laughing tease,
Until the rose says "Kiss me, please,"
'Tis morning, 'tis morning.
-- Paul Laurence Dunbar
