Sail Away...Monday's Child #40



Illustration by : Ethel Mars and Maud Hunt Squire 1900's
from a Children's Garden of Verses



tonight I will sail away
to another land
far away from my home
to an island where the sand

welcomes me and my boat
in a harbor safe and free
where pirates live and great ships float
across the night sky sea

tonight I will sail away
to a land of stars and streams
far away from my bed
to an island of childhood dreams

    As one just back from a cruise I know how nice it is to be 'rocked in the cradle of the deep'!
