ON THE SAND DUNES, by                    
First Line: Oh! The sand dunes are warm
Last Line: To weep by the salt sea shore.
Subject(s): Dunes; Seashore; Beach; Coast; Shore


Oh! the sand dunes are warm
Where the sun's beaten down.
The cool winds blow sweet
After heat of the town.
The Kiddies are dear
And the world is in key,
For my arms are about them
And theirs about me,
While a gull dips down slowly
Far, far out to sea.

There are pebbles and shells,
There are turrets and wells,
There's a town that is built
Out of sand.
Where the waves ripple in
And the breakers begin,
There's a toy ship of tin
To command.
Ho! for hey day and play day!
Then back to the town;
Back to the garden once more.
While the Sand Pile Lady is
Left alone
To weep by the salt sea shore.
