<p>Mother, the folk who live up in the clouds call out to me-<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"We play from the time we wake till the day ends.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We play with the golden dawn, we play with the silver moon."<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I ask, "But how am I to get up to you ?"<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They answer, "Come to the edge of the earth, lift up your<br>
hands to the sky, and you will be taken up into the clouds."<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"My mother is waiting for me at home, "I say, "How can I leave<br>
her and come?"<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then they smile and float away.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I know a nicer game than that, mother.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I shall be the cloud and you the moon.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I shall cover you with both my hands, and our house-top will<br>
be the blue sky.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The folk who live in the waves call out to me-<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"We sing from morning till night; on and on we travel and know<br>
not where we pass."<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I ask, "But how am I to join you?"<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They tell me, "Come to the edge of the shore and stand with<br>
your eyes tight shut, and you will be carried out upon the waves."<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I say, "My mother always wants me at home in the everything-<br>
how can I leave her and go?"<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They smile, dance and pass by.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I know a better game than that.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I will be the waves and you will be a strange shore.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I shall roll on and on and on, and break upon your lap with<br>
laughter.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And no one in the world will know where we both are.</p>
