the seat that he is lying on. 1/2 page.
Fairy Jewels.Owhite moon, sailing down the sky,I watch you when in bed I lie ;I watch you on the calm blue deep,And dream of you when fast asleep.I fancy as I see you floatThat you are some good fairy’s boat,And winds that round my window blowAre the same winds which make you go.Each star that shines for me so brightFor you is just a beacon-light.I half believe that it is youWho bring each day the morning dew ;Each drop is so much like a gem,I think the fairy gathers them,And leaning over as you passLets millions fall upon the grass.Frank Dempster Sherman.
