TWO VISIONS OF FAIRYLAND.
One with her blue, faint eyes could dream too much;
One, rosily sun-stained, wanted things to touch.

She met him on the stair with half a blush:
"How late you sleep!" he said. She whispered "Hush;

"I read that painted book last night, and so
I dreamed about Prince Charming"———"Did you, though?

"Why, I was wide awake in time to see
All Fairyland! I wish you'd been with me."

"What was it like?" Oh, it was green and still,
With rocks and wild red roses and a hill,

"And some shy birds that sang far up the air—
And such a river, all in mist, was there."
