O dear! my purple toy balloon Has flown away! and very soon It will be high up as the moon! And don't you think the man up there Will wonder what it is, and stare? Perhaps hell say, "Well, I declare!" Or, maybe if it chance there are Some little boys in yonder star, And if it floats away so far, Perhaps they'll jump up very high And catch the cord as it goes by! At any rate I hope they'll try! |
