LESSON 21 A LITTLE GIRL'S DREAM

A LITTLE GIRL'S DREAM

dreamt reached packed won-ders

jew-els fair-y cried queen

1. I dreamt I lived in Dolly-Land,

　　Where all around were toys,

　And such a lot of little girls,

　　But hardly any boys.

2. I thought the toys were made of gold,

　　So lovely did they seem,

　But O! how very sad I was

　　To find it all a dream.

3. I thought I saw a pretty house,

　　That reached up to the sky,

　Just packed quite full of wonders,

　　From floor to roof on high.

4. I walked into this pretty house,

　　All by myself—alone,

　And in my dream, it seemed to me,

　　To be my very own.

5. Then in came crowds of little girls,

　　Who chose me for their queen,

　Decked me with rings and jewels rare,

　　And fairy robes of green.

6. I laughed and cried for very joy—

　　So nice the whole did seem:

　But then I woke, and cried again

　　To find it all a dream.
