I SHOULD like to rise and go 

Where the golden apples grow;— 

Where below another sky 

Parrot islands anchored lie, 

And, watched by cockatoos and goats, 

Lonely Crusoes building boats;— 

Where in sunshine reaching out 

Eastern cities, miles about, 

Are with mosque and minaret 

Among sandy gardens set, 

And the rich goods from near and far 

Hang for sale in the bazaar,— 

Where the Great Wall round China goes, 

And on one side the desert blows, 

And with bell and voice and drum 

Cities on the other hum;— 

Where are forests, hot as fire, 

Wide as England, tall as a spire, 

Full of apes and cocoa-nuts 

And the negro hunters’ huts;— 

Where the knotty crocodile 

Lies and blinks in the Nile, 

And the red flamingo flies 

Hunting fish before his eyes;— 

Where in jungles, near and far, 

Man-devouring tigers are, 

Lying close and giving ear 

Lest the hunt be drawing near, 

Or a comer-by be seen 

Swinging in a palanquin;— 

Where among the desert sands 

Some deserted city stands, 

All its children, sweep and prince, 

Grown to manhood ages since, 

Not a foot in street or house, 

Not a stir of child or mouse, 

And when kindly falls the night, 

In all the town no spark of light. 

There I’ll come when I’m a man 

With a camel caravan; 

Light a fire in the gloom 

Of some dusty dining-room; 

See the pictures on the walls, 

Heroes, fights and festivals; 

And in a corner find the toys 

Of the old Egyptian boys.
