MY DREAM SHIP.
I wish I had a little ship To sail the silver sea, With silken sails, and flag of gold, And room for treasures in the hold. That all belonged to .me! From hour to hour, through ripples clear, ...... I’d diMft across the blue. Away from dull old Everyday,. ' To land” of breanis-.C6me-True. I-wish I had .a little ship— What jolly fun ’twould-be! I’d' take my puppies, one and two, They’d be a truly helpful crew, Because they're fond of me. ( We’d.sail to reefs of coral pink, And hear the mermaids .sing;. Perhaps, if wc were very good, We'd see the Ocean King! I wish 1 had a little ship. I’d run away from school! Instead of learning history, Or French, or verbs, or threc-timcs-three, I’d cut through billows cool. Ami oh! at night-time, when I go To bed, it sometimes seems My little Dream-Ship’s waiting (there, To’bring me magic dreams!
