THINGS DESIRED! :! By DOUGLAS MALLOCH t ; n--l'l"I"i"I"l-I"l"i"H-4"I'l-I"l"l-H"l"l"l"l' TX71TTI nil things unattainable, T used to dream the maddest things: I, too, would have a citadel amid the company of kings. When not a thing a man may own Why dream of thatch ? Nay, dream of stone ! And build your castles all a-gleam, For, after all, It's all a dream. Vet, for the merry and the hold, the poorest fortunes often mend : One day I found a pot of gold awaiting at the rainbow's end. When I might dream a thing or two, Yes, almost anything come true. When one so pour was rich again, What think you that I dreamed of then? With all things unattainable, I used to dream, of castled kings; But now, it's rather strange to tell, I dream of very simple things: When anything I well n'ght own I do not dream of walls of stone, For now I want a roof yf thatch, A humble home, and friends to match.
