Show A DREAr Oh it was but a dream I had While the musician played And here the sky and here the glad Old ocean kissed the glade And here the laughing ripples ran And here the roses grew That tUrew a kiss to ever man That voyaged with the crew Our silken sails In lazy folds Dropned in a breathless breeze As oer a field ot marigolds Our eyes swam oer the seas While here the eddies lisped and purled Around the islands rim nd up from out the underworld We saw the mermen swim And it was dawn and middle day And midnightfor the moon On silver rounds across the bay Had climbed the skies of June And here the glowing glorious king Of day ruled oer his realm With stars of midnight glittering About his diadem The seagull reeled on languid wing In circles round the mast Wo heard the songs the sirens sing As we wont sailing past And up and down the golden sands A thousand fairy throngs Flung at us from their flashing hands The echoes of their songs James Whitcomb Riley |
