Some fine sunny day In warm summer weather, We'll take a joy-ride Upon a gay feather. We'll sail to the clouds That are misty and white, And there we will stay For a day and a night. We'll chase the Great Bear Down the white Milky Way; Then have a good time Just as long as we stay. We'll dance all about Like a nice old skipper And take a good drink From out the Big Dipper. There's nothing within Save rain water pure. It will not harm us; Of that I'm quite sure. We'll pick a few stars -- Golden daisies in bloom, And try to shake hands With the Man in the Moon. We'll find the North star, Always steadfast and true, And throw her a kiss: That is what we will do. We'll coast on the rainbow, Laugh long at the sun, And if it should thunder, Start home on the run. If we get quite tired (I know that it's far), We will thumb a ride home On a bright shooting star. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ADOLF EICHMANN by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE WANDERER: A ROCOCO STUDY (FIRST VERSION) by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS PUTTIN' THE BABY AWAY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: DAISY FRASER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS A CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER I SHALL LIVE TO BE OLD by SARA TEASDALE |
