DREAMED,

ASPIRIN
N:tme ' Bayer" on Genuine
I've hunted everywhere to find a man at Christmas time
A little sweeter than the rest with music and with rhyme
Ot Christmas spirit, and with spell of Christmas in the soul,
And I should say the man who dreamed was happiest on the whole.
The man who dreamed he was a boy, I met him on (he way,
And, oh. his eyes were bright as joy that lights the blooms of May !
I stopped him on the little road to toil when rest was done,
And listened to his golden tale, it was such golden fun.
He'd trimmed a tree the night before, and when the morning came
He joined the merry, romping band of children in their game.
He dreamed, he dreamed he was a boy, and with the children there
He felt the roses 'neath his feet, the soft winds blow his hair
His eyes they glistened like light you see when silver stars
Lean down to look upon the world from o'er their azure bars;
rtciu wncii oc wiu me now ne teapea ana romped and whooped and lore
I knew the boyhood ecstacy of Christmas time once more
His dream amid that playtime sweet had brought all back again,
The April of the dancing feet, the country field and glen.
He raised his hands and slapped them hard loeether as he i,dt
The memories of that dreadful day ol music and of told-
I ' - 1. .. ... ... LI . . .-, I . " '
nis luiees were ireinoiiiig sun, ins up was quivering wuh delight
And, oh, it was so good, he said, to feel so tired at night
He d dreamed, he d dreamed the dew drops back.
He'd dreamed the morning too. when the cobweds by ihe track
Like pearls hung silver dew.
He told me of new-fangled games they taught him how to play
And all the winter world around turned unto dreams of May '
Then in the twilight when they said their little prayers he knelt
Beside them in the dream to tell the dear God how he felt.
The man who dreamed he was a boy, oh, his was Christmas true
And may that dream, with all its joy, be dreamed some day by you !

There's a sweet and clinging paih.w in those frosty days of old
That is dearer 10 our aging hearts that aught than can be told.
Look back to how we longed for them; how joyous when they came-
With the folks all home to dinner-which will never be again.
We see ourselves a child once more, when mother gave us toys
That brought us much more pleasure than our later costlier joys;
And then we see her dear old face, and think, with sad, sweet pain,
How we'd give all future Christmas days for one old one again.
