A CHILD’S FANCY.
Pd love to ait on a clover top, And sway And swing and shake, till the dew would drop In spray. Fd croon a song to the bumble bee To leave his golden honey with me; And shake and swing till the wind would stop To play. rd weave a hammock of spider thread loose hung, While grasses nodded above my head, and swung; And all day long, while the toft winds played, rd twine and tangle the sun and shade, Till the cricket's song—“ 'Tie time for bed” — t Then wrapped in a wee gold sunset cloud rd lie, While night winds sang to the stars that crowd The sky. And all night long I would dream and sleep, While glow-worms lighted their lamps to peep, ‘‘Oh, hush!” they’d whisper, if frogs croaked loud, Hush-a-bye —Sent by “Fairy Nightlight,” Upper Hutt
