YVONNES
DREAM
BY Helen
WeIshimer

Sleeping in your chair, YvOnne,
Do you sweetly dream
OF a tree Of toy balloons
BY a silver stream?
Do five swings sway in a breeze,
Blowing just for you?
Are there dolls and teddy bears,
And a sand pile, too?
Did an early sandman leave
Five small bags of sleep?
Did he know you'd rub your
eyes,
And be deep so deep ...
That in your dreams you
wouldn't know
When he wandered back,
Hanging out a nice new moon
On a penny tack?
| think in your sunderland
Like as not you've met
Emelie with petite Marie,
Cecile and Annette.
