Dreams

In Nursery Land when lights are low,
And shadows hurry to and fro,
The Dream Man comes when day is done
And gives a dream to every one!

One dream will make you float in air
Instead of climbing up the stair,
Another gives you spreading wings
Instead of legs and other things!

And one will make you seem so small
You cannot feel yourself at all,
Another, you may walk a mile
By stepping only once a while!

Another makes you, oh, so high,
You very nearly touch the sky;
You turn and give a monster jump,
And wake in time to miss the bump!
