THE CITY OF AIR
In the City of Air, there’s a blacksmith there, ' His bellows the’four icinds blow; - JVhen the reservoir leaks, as it will for weeks. Then it’s raining on earth below. . By the butchers I'm told, are the meteors sold; i There are planets for plants they say; . And that the City of Air has a milkman there; ■■■; Whose round is the Milky Way. »ie jeweller sings, making Saturn’s ■' ■ rings, ■■ ■ ■■'■■■'■ -, '■■ ' While the stars are the lamps by night; , ■ Then the fine-spun trails of the comets’ tails, Are the stories the authors lOrite. With snow cotton wool are the big shops full, You can buy it with sun-set gold;' Then tpe fleecy clouds form into blankets warm For the sky when it's blue with cold. ‘ —Copied by “Princess Sunbeam.” 12 years, Tinui. j
