DREAMS
A fairy that I know quite well (Her name is Dancing Light.) Has seven hundred dreams to sell, She told me this last night. She said that they were nice to taste And looked liked chocolate cream, And selling fast, she said, so haete And buy a lovely dream. “I*ll take a pennyworth,” I said. She pondered for a while: *'A penny wont buy fairy bread . . . I sell them for a smile.” The dream I bought was very bright, With birds and silver beads, With golden stare and gleams of light And music made on reeds. With seven hundred dreams to sell, Her name is Dancing Light . . . A fairy that I know quite well Will come your way tonight. —Gloria Rawlinson, aged 11.
