DREAM OF A WORLD CRUISE Nfasrjorie Cash, 2G I'd like to take a world cruise, just to rid me of these bluesg Climb up and down the mountain sides, And peep between the great divides. And go out across the sea,. And find how other peoples beg Visit France and England, The Netherlands and Scotland. Then go away to Moscow and to Magaf zan, Cross Africa's deserts in a caravan, Sail 'both the Blue and White Niles, For hundreds and hundreds of miles. Then take a look at Germany, The Crient and Araby, And drive along those quaint old streets, And buy some flowers or antiques. Maybe I could fly to Argentina, See Brazil, Ecuador and Guiana, And travel through Columbia And along the famous Panama. I have nothing more to say, Except I'd like to see U. S. A., After that I'd come back home, But, oh goodness me! I've left out Rome! So if ever I hap to make a trip, I will follow this and make no slip. So as you see, this is not true, For I've hardly been farther than Riverf FAIRIES Margaret Lisemer, 382 Do you believe in fairies? Well, you should, For Fairies sprinkle sparkling drops Cn sleepy flowers. We call it dew. They paint the autumn leaves with Brilliant, gorgeous colours of every hue. They splash each other with clear, Running water from a crystal fountf ain, And cause children playing near to laugh in glee, As dewy drops fall on their curly heads, Or one stray drop chances to touch a passing bee. Their laughter is the tinkling of a sleigh bell, Their many songs they teach to differf ent birdsg Their jewels are glittering diamonds in the snows, Their happiness is spread to all be' lieversg They spin their clothing of the hues of rainbows. And so, you see, you should believe in fairies, 'Cause fairies bring you happy things in life, They put a chuckle in each ray of sun' shine, They paint with colours from the Master Painter's palette, They are His way of saying, Make my dale Zoo. joy thine.
