SONNETS TO DUSE
And then I want a blue balloon
That tries to fly away,
I thought if I wished hard enough
That it would come some day.
One time when I was in the park
I knew that it would be
Beside the big old clock at home
A-waiting there for me—
And soon as we got home again,
I hurried thro' the hall,
And looked beside the big old clock—
It wasn't there at all.
I think I'll never wish again—
But then, what shall I do?
The wishes are a lot of fun
Altho' they don't come true.
