Overview
If you have been unhappy all the day, Wait patiently until the night: When in the sky the gentle stars are bright The Dream Coach comes to carry you away. Great Coach, great Coach, how fat and bright your sides, To please the child who rides! Painted with funny men—see that one’s hose, How blue! How red and long is that one’s nose! And under this one’s arm a flapping cock! Great dandelions tell us what o’clock With silver globe much bigger than the moon——Dream Coach, come soon! Come soon! What pretty pictures! Angels at their play, And brown and lilac butterflies, and spray Of stars, and animals from far away, Grey elephants, a bright pink water bird; Things lovely and absurd. As the wheels turn, they wake to lovely sound, Musical boxes—as the wheels go round They play a little silver spray of notes: “Swift Runs the River”—“Bluebells in the Wood”——“The Waterfall”—“The Child Who Has Been Good”——Like splash of foam at keel of little boats.
