THE DREAM OF A GIRL WHO LIVED AT "SEVENOAKS"
By William Brighty Rands
Seven sweet singing birds up in a tree;
Seven swift sailing-ships white upon the sea;
Seven bright weathercocks shining in the sun;
Seven slim racehorses ready for a run;
Seven gold butterflies, flittering over head;
Seven red roses blowing in a garden bed;
Seven white lilies, with honey bees inside them;
Seven round rainbows with clouds to divide them;
Seven pretty little girls with sugar on their lips;
Seven witty little boys, whom everybody tips;
Seven nice fathers, to call little maids "joys";
Seven nice mothers, to kiss the little boys;
Seven nights running I dreamt it all plain;
With bread and jam for supper
Seven swift sailing-ships white upon the sea;
Seven bright weathercocks shining in the sun;
Seven slim racehorses ready for a run;
Seven gold butterflies, flittering over head;
Seven red roses blowing in a garden bed;
Seven white lilies, with honey bees inside them;
Seven round rainbows with clouds to divide them;
Seven pretty little girls with sugar on their lips;
Seven witty little boys, whom everybody tips;
Seven nice fathers, to call little maids "joys";
Seven nice mothers, to kiss the little boys;
Seven nights running I dreamt it all plain;
With bread and jam for supper
I could dream it all again!
