Trams

Language: English

Castles of crystal.
Castles of wood,
Moving on pulleys
just as you should!
See the gay people
Flaunting like flags,
Bells in the steeple,
Sky all in rags.
Bright as a parrot
Flaunts the gay heat -
Songs in the garret,
Fruit in the street;
Plump as a cherry,
Red as a rose,
Old Mother Berry -
Blowing her nose!
