Fancy's Home
written by William Henry Davies
From "Songs of Joy", 1911




Tell me, Fancy, sweetest child,
  Of thy parents and thy birth;
Had they silk, and had they gold,
  And a park to wander forth,
With a castle green and old?

In a cottage I was born,
  My kind father was Content,
My dear mother Innocence;
  On wild fruits of wonderment
I have nourished ever since.
