Dorothy's Dream
“What are you dreaming of Dorothy dear
Lying alone in the meadow here?
Are you dreaming of fairies'-land
Where dolls and pussies dance hand in hand,
Where all the beautiful things are true,
And every one does what they ought to do?”
Lying alone in the meadow here?
Are you dreaming of fairies'-land
Where dolls and pussies dance hand in hand,
Where all the beautiful things are true,
And every one does what they ought to do?”
“No, I wasn't dreaming of dolly or cat,
Or fairies, or story-book things like that,
But I've been playing about all day,
And sometimes you get tired, even of play;
So I'm resting here till nurse comes for me,
And wondering whether there's cake for tea.
Or fairies, or story-book things like that,
But I've been playing about all day,
And sometimes you get tired, even of play;
So I'm resting here till nurse comes for me,
And wondering whether there's cake for tea.
