wishing well.

If I were a child, and dreamed all day,

I’d dream the sky was green

And the birds that would fly across

The hugest you’d ever seen

If I were pirate out of Western Wild,

I’d sail all night and day

I’d bring back gems and gold galore

Riches upon the fray

If I were Tree, the living being,

Fair dryad I would be

And ever running wild I’d cross

Green forest and sundered sea

If I were Dragon, terrible and strong,

Forever I’d dance in the sky

I’d sing the water down for the storm

So my strength may never die

If I were Rose, that red heart-child,

I’d sing now all for love

I’d find fast friend in busy bee

Hiding deep in honey-trove

If I were Star, and shone all night

Above the Sundered Sea

Verily I’d shine, a light so bright

For all dreamers under me

If I were Wind, now wild and free,

I’d wander my life away

Maketh music of the rocks and seas

And set the trees asway

Still I am that child who dreamt

Who dreamt the sky was green

I saw the birds that flew across

The hugest you’d ever seen

By and by that dream came true

The birds fell from the sky

Who now will come to sing for me

So my heart may never die?

A hundred thousand things and more

Of which I’d love to see

I dream the wildsome dreams of yore

Where my heart will ever be
