A DREAMSHIP
I stood in a glade in the twilight, When the birds were winging to rest, And thought, as I watched them glide homezvard With swift flight away to the west, Of the beautiful day, and the sunshine, Then the calm, and the peace, and the rest. And as I stood dreaming and. thinking, The evening star rose in the sky; The day into darkness was merging With a murmur and softly-breathed sigh; The clouds sailed like white swans above me O’er the clear blue lagoon of the sky. 1 turned, in a dream, to go homeward. With a last lingering look at the world, When 10l a dreamship came sailing With canvas of silver unfurled, And I traced my steps back to the homestead O’er a path paved zvith moonbeams, dcw-pcarlcd. —By Eleanor Hooper, Levin (aged 14 years)
