TEXTS:
The Dream of a Girl Who Lived at Seven Oaks
Seven sweet singing birds up in a tree
Seven swift sailing-ships white up on the sea
Seven bright weather-cocks shining in the sun
Seven slim race horses ready for a run
Seven gold butterflies flitting overhead
Seven red roses blowing in a garden bed
Seven white lilies with honey bees inside them
Seven round rainbows with clouds to divide them
Seven pretty little girls with sugar on their lips
Seven witty little boys whom everybody tips
Seven nice fathers, nice mothers, to call little maids joys
Seven nights running I dreamt it all plain,
With bread and jam for supper,
I could dream it all again.
William Brighty Rands (1823-1882)
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat,
How I wonder what you're at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea-tray in the sky.
Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)
The Dream of a Boy Who Lived at Nine Elms
Nine grenadiers with bayonets in their guns
Nine guns with nine bayonets
Nine bakers baskets with hot-cross buns
Nine brown elephants standing in a row
Nine new velocipedes good ones to go
Nine knickerbocker suits with buttons all complete
Nine pair of skates with straps for the feet
Nine clever conjurers eating hot coals
Nine sturdy mountaineers leaping on their poles
Nine little drummer-boys beating on their drums
Nine fat aldermen sitting on their thumbs
Nine new knocks to our front door
Nine new neighbours that I never saw before
Nine times running, I dreamt it all plain,
With bread and jam for supper, and cheese!
I could dream it all again.
William Brighty Rands (1823-1882)
