I watched my leaden soldiers go,
With different uniforms and drills, Among the bed‐clothes, through the hills;
And sometimes sent my ships in fleets All up and down among the sheets; Or brought my trees and houses out, And planted cities all about.

That sits upon the pillow‐hill,
And sees before him, dale and plain, The pleasant land of counterpane.
