First Line: If I knew magic, and could do
Last Line: The place where vanished bubbles play.
Subject(s): Bubbles; Children; Imagination; Childhood; Fancy
If I knew magic, and could do
Just anything I wanted to,
I'd blow a bubble strong and wide
Enough for me to get inside.
We'd sail far up into the blue,
And when it burst and went away,
I'd visit—for a day or two—
The place where vanished bubbles play.
