Soap Bubbles

FLUBBLETY, flopplety, bubble and spatter, Soap-suds and water and clay-pipes and chatter! Puff little cheeklets and blow, blow, blow! Look at the bubbles beginning to grow!

O what a beauty, all purple and pink! Whiff! it has vanished before you can think! Now look at this one with clouds and a tree Swimming about in a gold-lighted sea!

Hurrah, it is floating away through the air! Car of the fairies was never more fair. Zip comes a goblin and clips it away! What will the fairy who rode in it say?
