This Is A Dream
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐
The First I Saw Was The Crescent Moon
Then There Came A Very Small Mushroom
๐
And Then The Small Mushroom Grew And Grew
Under The Light Of The Crescent Moon
๐
Look Again, And Now An Umbrella
This Strange Dream Has Left Me All Aswoon
โ
The Umbrella Twists Into An Owl
Across The Sky, Clouds And Stars Are Strewn
๐ฆ
The Owl Becomes A Blacksmith's Bellows
Then Magically Two Fiery Urns
๐
An Axle And Cart Towed By Two Horses
Heading For The Plough, To Be There Soon
๐
So Among The Stars This Dream Will End
Under The Light Of The Crescent Moon
