Dream • -2-•dreamed a dream the other night,, That my life was all anew, Andean my grief had passed away; I had nothing left to roe. My life it seemed completely changed, And living it was sublime; The world it seemed a blissful place, As there wasn't any crime. ,I thought that I was young again ,, ... . Aene..1 was* nb g -4o school; 3 had no fights' er quarrels there, I obeyed "The Golden RuIe." I fancied I was quite happy, Wherever I chanced-, to go, " Whether it was in summer lands, Or regions of frost and 'snow. I seemed like a "happy ;medium," As with me all things were right; Whether they were dark and dismal, Or otherwise fair and bright. 1 thought that I was taking a trip, Travelling the 'world around; At times I ,apurneyed, by aeroplane, Sometimes motored on the ground. 3 beheld happy, playful children, In -a I'and of bright Sowers; • 1 pictured the "Garden of Eden," Moistened with timely showers. 1 fancied there was no sickness, - No more aches or -any pain; 1 quite forgot all my past life; I felt I was young again. I dreamed that all were sociable, And met each other as friends; -There was no slang or slandering, And no one to make amends. All people appeared as righteous, So there was no need of bail; And as' there were no criminals, I didn't notice a jail. 3 .imagined that I was wealthy,' And had much money' in store; I thought that I was charitable, As no longer was I poor. My spirit drifted Heavenward, While playing a golden harp; For I had been a musician, • , I liked music soft, not sharp. But somehow I was awakened From my inspiring dream,' And finding out it was not true, I was almost caused to ppacream. But although my dream pal'ssed away, And I wish that it were true, I pictured then a "Golden Age" When mankind would live anew. When all cruel wars will be over„ And "Peace on Earth" shall reign, And the many fallen heroes Have not passed away in vain. When all would have fellow -sympathy And all contented Will be; 176 Teti all, our cares would pase away, And all our -troubles W111,118e When all ruen will ,as brokers be, And Will -let •xli Will g0'- by; And when all women Vafli as sisters be, In the coming Bye-and-B•ye. • ---Compoeed by Harry 117:4V -n - Clitttoit, Ont.
