Mr.rch, 1937 THE YOUNG CITIZEN 41 TO A PLAYMATE (A Night Song) Will you come with me, dear playmate, Where the moonbeams bathe the grassy lawn, Where the starlits play hide and seek. With the white cloud until the dawn? We shall roam about the cornfields, Among bamboos standing tall, We shall hear the song of crickets, And the gecko's plaintive call. We shall tell each other sweet tales, Of fairies, kings and princesses, of rainbow trails and priceless pearls And wonders of the boundless seas. Then we may sleep and dream and dream, Of paths and lanes our feet have trod, Of childish hopes and funny whims, Dear playmate-we'll fill each hour with love. -Lulu de la Paz Gabriel
