Peter Pan in Bowring Park

 

For Dan, who knows something of magic

 

“Do you want an adventure now, or would like to have your tea first?”

 

-Peter Pan

 

Sweet little bunnies browse and squirrels climb

And tiny mice and fairies give delight

To all the little ones of Newfoundland

Who visit Peter Pan in Bowring Park

 

He plays his pipes for them, and they can hear

The joyful music of his magic world

Where they may celebrate their pixie-dreams

At this bright second star from Kensington

 

And sing in peace their happy morning hymn

For darling little Betty, who waits for them
