| Children dreaming of castles and ships in the air... |
LET us watch the castles,
Castles in the air,
Oh, so tall and stately,
Far away and fair!
Oh, the splendid windows!
Oh, the towers tall!
Oh, the winding stairways!
We may have them all !
Let us climb the stairways,
Let us mount the towers,
Then look down at leisure
On this world of ours;
We will see the cities
Where we cannot go;
Where the long roads lead to
We will surely know!
All the ships a-sailing,
Oh, so far away,
To the wonder countries
We will see to-day!
All their white sails gleaming,
Colors flying bright,
And the foam behind them
Sparkling in the light !
We've no wings for flying,
But we need not grieve -
We will do these wonders
All in make-believe!
Under whispering maples
Oh, what fun to lie.
Wide-awake, yet dreaming
Of castles in the sky!
