The Wishing Cap
By Charles Macka
If fairy tales were true
And fortunes were my hap,
I’ll tell you what I’d do,
If I’d the wishing cap,
I’d make each maid a wife
Who’d give both heart and hand
And all domestic strife
I’d banish from the land.
No arm that wrought or ploughed
Should ever toil in vain;
The great should not be proud,
The small should not complain
The friendship of a friend ,
Should last thought good and ill:
And, constant to the end,
Should guide the wand’rer still.
All rulers should be just
And people should be wise
And swords and spears should rush
For lack of enemies;
The triumph of our time
Should bless the poorest lot
And, misery and crime
Should die and be forgot.
