! a land of dreams-at peace.

IN land of dreams-at peace.
The blue sky for tent
Thunder sounds of cities cease:
No hustling for the rent.
Lean down. and drink from singing
rills.
And fear no monthly water bills!
In a land of dreams. Sweet birds
Sing your soul to rest;
There no stormy human words
Rankle in the breast
There, i'm banks of violets sweet.
Never any notes to meet!
In a land of dreams!-Life's page
All unblotted seems.
Now. let wrathful minlons rage
We are lost in dreams!
There. we have no fear-no sorrow,
Wondering where we'll dine tomorrow.
There you'll have your wish and will
Through the DAYS and nights; -
There the world thumped pianos stlli'
And no one there recites!
Heaven grant-from life that folly
seems.
To keep us-in that land of dreams!
