Comes that dream from fairyland,

Blown about in wondrous ways,

Like a skein of gossamer fanned

By a troop of laughing fays?

Or, upon some elfin brook,

Wing of dragon-fly for sail,

Passing many a wildflower nook

Did it drift so light and frail?

Little dreamer, if I dared,

I would say, “your day-dream tell!”
