DREAM
The trees were then in flowers
Sweet smell spread around the air
Singing birds were flying here and there
Spring had come with all its fair.
In the garden on the bed of grass
John lied under a tree
He read a sweet love story
Of glee, and he looked merry
When john slept could not remember
A beautiful sight with wonder
He saw a fair girl of fairyland
With a red rose in her hand.
She was standing and moving in the sky
And looking john with wistful eye.
John gazed and gazed but could not
Say any word, as she was long away
John felt a thrill in heart
The fairy weared in a long white skirt.
Little the time John passed in sleep
But the fairy impressed him deep
When awoke john thought of dreamy scene
He desired to dream the fairy once again.
One morning John was sitting in his room
A girl through the garden came to him
With a strange he saw the girl came in dream
John looked and looked could not utter a word
What do you see, I am Roseate she said.
John could know his girl friend of childhood
She was a sweet girl of ten years old
Now after twelve years Roseate has become
A fairy and a girl of John’s dream.
