When at home alone I sitA
And am very tired of itA
I have just to shut my eyesB
To go sailing through the skiesB
To go sailing far awayC
To the pleasant Land of PlayC
To the fairy land afarD
Where the Little People areD
Where the clover tops are treesE
And the rain pools are the seasE
And the leaves like little shipsF
Sail about on tiny tripsF
And above the Daisy treeG
Through the grassesH
High o'erhead the Bumble BeeG
Hums and passesH
-
In that forest to and froI
I can wander I can goI
See the spider and the flyJ
And the ants go marching byJ
Carrying parcels with their feetK
Down the green and grassy streetK
I can in the sorrel sitA
Where the ladybird alitA
I can climb the jointed grassL
And on highJ
See the greater swallows passL
In the skyJ
And the round sun rolling byJ
Heeding no such things as IJ
-
Through that forest I can passL
Till as in a looking glassL
Humming fly and daisy treeG
And my tiny self I seeG
Painted very clear and neatA
On the rain pool at my feetA
Should a leaflet come to landA
Drifting near to where I standA
Straight I'll board that tiny boatA
Round the rain pool sea to floatA
-
Little thoughtful creatures sitA
On the grassy coasts of itA
Little things with lovely eyesB
See me sailing with surpriseB
Some are clad in armour greenM
These have sure to battle beenN
Some are pied with ev'ry hueO
Black and crimson gold and blueO
Some have wings and swift are goneP
But they all look kindly onQ
-
When my eyes I once againR
Open and see all things plainS
High bare walls great bare floorT
Great big knobs on drawer and doorT
Great big people perched on chairsU
Stitching tucks and mending tearsU
Each a hill that I could climbV
And talking nonsense all the timeV
O dear meG
That I could beG
A sailor on a the rain pool seaG
A climber in the clover treeG
And just come back a sleepy headA
Late at night to go to bedA

Robert Louis Stevenson
