Ball on bright ball, / On the sky glowing, / The old dreams recall / Of a child's knowing; / Eggs laid by a flying bird, / Jellies in globed curd, / Fruits on a strange tree, / By the winds blowing.
Now as each bobbing ball / Tugs at its holder, / I, who these dreams recall, / Feel hardly older. / Drinking enchanted Cup / From Balloons, I rise up, / Swaying on sea and sky, / Color and flight am I!
Appled Balloon Tree, / Arched efflorescence, / Grow shining globes for me, / Of joyous essence; / Until bright bubbles spill / From a cup fancies fill / Brimmed iridescence!
