And does sparkle with wet dew,
They’re scepters by the dozen
By three, by four, by two.
The palace is the play set
All shiny with night rain,
Its wooden boards are now smooth stone
With no more beauty to gain.
Our swings are quick, white horses
Their coats are warm and moist,
They’re young and handsome, smart and fast
Their perfection can’t be voiced.
The palace is kept spotless
I treat everyone with care,
So when I go about business
The birds trumpet a lovely fanfare.
Gold sun has just now risen
And lit two grassy lawns,
Good-bye, my kingdom, see you later,
When tomorrow dawns.
