My Dream

To fling my arms wide

In some place in the sun

To whirl and to dance

Till the white day is done

Then rest, then rest at evening

Beneath a tall tree

While night comes on gently

Dark like me

That is my dream!

To fling my arms wide

In the face of the sun

Dance! Whirl! Whirl!

Till the quick day is done

Rest at pale evening

A tall, slim tree

Night coming tenderly

Black like me
