Travel

I would like to rise and go

Where the golden apples grow;

Where below another sky

Parrot islands anchored [1] lie,

And, watched by cockatoos [2] and goats,

Lonely Crusoes building boats;

Where in sunshine reaching out

Eastern cities, miles about,

Are with mosque [3] and minaret [4]

Among sandy gardens set,

And the rich goods from near and far

Hang for sale in the bazaar [5] ;

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 [6] ,

Full of apes [7] and coco-nuts

And the negro [8] hunters' huts;

Where the knotty [9] crocodile

Lies and blinks in the Nile [10] ,

And the red flamingo [11] flies

Hunting fish before his eyes;

Where in jungles, near and far,

Man- devouring [12] tigers are,

Lying close and giving ear

Lest the hunt be drawing near ,

Or a comer-by be seen

Swinging in a palanquin [13] ;

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 [14] 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 [15]

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.
