On Christmas day, let happy dreams Sparkle and flow like bubbling streams. A MAIDEN'S DREAM I often think and dream and ponder Of things that I have seen, And twist the real into a wonder When men and birds convene. If I could reach that star up yonder, My soul would lift and preen; If Summertime would always stay My yard would be more green. I see the airplane rise and soaring On all bright days and fair; The tiny specks go roaring out Across the hills from care. If my good pilot friend is landing On some star world up there. He might bring back some silver Or flowers for my hair. PROMISES
