An illustration from A child's garden of verses, 1905, leaf 36 — th my hands And looked abroad on foreign lands. I saw the next door garden lie,Adorned with flowers, before my eye,And many pleasant places moreThat I had never seen before. I saw the dimpling river passAnd be the skys blue looking-glass;The dusty roads go up and downWith people tramping in to… … To where the roads on either handLead onward into fairy land,Where all the children dine at five,And all the playthings come alive.
