TO THREE LITTLE KATHARINES
Oh, Katharines three,Come sail with meWhere the ship of my Fancy flies!We’ll wander freeOver land and sea,Then sail away to the skies.If I were a star,So far—so far—From this Earth where the children dwell,My twinkliest beamFor that ship should gleam;And my truest secret I’d tellTo the eyes that lookThrough fancy.—No bookNor telescope serves so well.

Oh, Katharines three,
Come sail with me
Where the ship of my Fancy flies!
We’ll wander free
Over land and sea,
Then sail away to the skies.

If I were a star,
So far—so far—
From this Earth where the children dwell,
My twinkliest beam
For that ship should gleam;
And my truest secret I’d tell
To the eyes that look
Through fancy.—No book
Nor telescope serves so well.
