DAY DREAMS

THE GIFT BOOK (To J. R.)

A book is a kindly gracious thing.

Each has a particular gift to bring.

It may be the wealth

Of a wonderful life,

Or the thrilling adventure

Of Jungle strife.

Perhaps it’s a present

Of orient gold,

Tales of Aladdin

Enchantingly told.

Maybe a view

Of olden days,

Knighthood—Romance,

Flowery ways.

And again a journey

To lands afar,
