DREAM BLOCKS

Copyright, 1908, by Duffield & Co.
WITH dream-blocks I can build A castle to the sky. No one can shake it down, Though he may try and try, Except myself, and then, I make another one, And shape it as I please. This castle-building fun Nobody takes away, And what I like the best— The dream-blocks change each day.
THERE is a shining thread To-day in my rose-bed— A magic net the fairies have outspread To catch the dewy sweet—and yet you said It was a cobweb there instead!

TO-DAY when I played anagrams, I spelled a long word out— A word named sorrow —then I tried To change it all about To make it spell another word. My mother said, There is a way To make the sorrow-word spell peace. I've tried and tried, almost all day; I've turned the letters round and round, This way and that, to find out how, And yet I can not find the way, And supper time is coming now.
