Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEF GGHHI JJKKLL AAGGMM MMNNMM MMOOMM PPQQRR| I had the strangest dream last night | A |
| I dreamed the poppies red and white | A |
| That over run the flower bed | B |
| Changed to wee women white and red | B |
| Who jeweled with the twinkling wet | C |
| Joined hands and danced a minuet | C |
| - | |
| And there beside the garden walk | D |
| I thought a red rose stood at talk | D |
| With a black cricket and I heard | E |
| The cricket say 'You are the bird | E |
| Red crested who comes every day | F |
| To sing his lyric roundelay ' | - |
| - | |
| The rose replied 'Nay you must know | G |
| That bird and I loved long ago | G |
| I am a princess he a prince | H |
| And we were parted ever since | H |
| The world of science made us don | I |
| The new disguises we have on ' | - |
| - | |
| And then the rose put off disguise | J |
| And stood revealed before my eyes | J |
| A faery princess and in black | K |
| His tiny fiddle on his back | K |
| An elfin fiddler long of nose | L |
| The cricket bowed before the rose | L |
| - | |
| A house of moss and firefly light | A |
| Now seemed to rise within the night | A |
| Beside the tree where bending low | G |
| The flowers stood a silken row | G |
| Around the rose a faery band | M |
| Before the Queen of Faeryland | M |
| - | |
| And suddenly I saw the side | M |
| Of a great beech tree open wide | M |
| And there behold were wondrous things | N |
| Slim flower like people bright with wings | N |
| Who bowed before a throne of state | M |
| Whereon the rose and redbird sate | M |
| - | |
| And then I woke and there behold | M |
| Was naught except the moonlight's gold | M |
| On tree and garden and the flowers | O |
| Safe snuggled in their beds and bowers | O |
| The rose was gone but where she'd stood | M |
| Lay scattered crimson of her hood | M |
| - | |
| The cricket still was at his tune | P |
| Somewhere between the dawn and moon | P |
| And I'd have sworn it was a dream | Q |
| Had I not glimpsed a glowworm gleam | Q |
| And heard a chuckling in the tree | R |
| And seen the dewdropp wink at me | R |
