Dream Blocks
from Dream Blocks by Aileen Cleveland Higgins, 1908

With dream-blocks I can build
A castle to the sky.
No one can shake it down,
Though he may try and try,
Except myself, and then,
I make another one.
And shape it as I please.

This castle-building fun
Nobody takes away,
And what 1 like the best –
The dream-blocks change each day.
