	-
	-
I see a little group about my chair	B
Lovers of stories all	C
First Saxon Edith of the corn silk hair	B
Growing so strong and tall	C
	-
Then little brother on whose sturdy face	D
Soft baby dimples fly	E
As fear or pleasure give each other place	D
When wonders multiply	E
	-
Then Gold locks summers nine their goldenest	F
Have showered on her head	F
And tinted it of all the colors best	F
Warm robin red breast red	F
	-
Then close at hand on lowly haunches set	F
With pricked up tasseled ear	G
Is Tony little cleared eyed spaniel pet	F
Waiting like them to hear	G
	-
I say I have no story all are told	F
Not to be daunted thus	H
They only crowd more confident and bold	F
And laugh incredulous	H
	-
And so remembering how once on a time	I
I too loved such delights	J
I choose this one and put it into rhyme	I
From the Arabian Nights	J
	-
	-
A poor little lad was Aladdin	K
His mother was wretchedly poor	L
A widow who scarce ever had in	K
Her cupboard enough of a store	M
To frighten the wolf from the door	M
	-
No doubt he was quite a fine fellow	N
For the country he lived in but ah	O
His skin was a dull dusky yellow	N
And his hair was as long as 'twould grow	N
'Tis the fashion in China you know	N
	-
But however he looked or however	P
He fared a strange fortune was his	Q
None of you dears though fair faced and clever	P
Can have anything like to this	R
So grand and so marvelous it is	Q
	-
Well one day for so runs the tradition	S
While idling and lingering about	F
The low city streets a Magician	S
From Africa swarthy and stout	F
With his wise prying eyes spied him out	F
	-
And went up to him very politely	T
And asked what his name was and cried	F
My lad if I judge of you rightly	T
You're the son of my brother who died	F
My poor Mustafa and he sighed	F
	-
Ah yes Mustafa was my father	P
Aladdin cried back and he's dead	F
Well then both yourself and your mother	P
I will care for forever he said	F
And you never shall lack wine nor bread	F
	-
And thus did the wily old wizard	F
Deceive with his kindness the two	U
For a deed of dark peril and hazard	F
He had for Aladdin to do	U
At the risk of his life too he knew	U
	-
Far down in the earth's very centre	P
There burned a strange lamp at a shrine	V
Great stones marked the one place to enter	P
Down under t'was dark as a mine	V
What further no one could divine	V
	-
And that was the treasure Aladdin	K
Was sent to secure First he tore	M
The huge stones away for he had in	K
An instant the strength of a score	M
Then he stepped through the cavern like door	M
	-
Down down through the darkness so chilly	T
On on through the long galleries	W
Coming now upon gardens of lilies	W
And now upon fruit burdened trees	W
Filled full of the humming of bees	W
	-
But ah should one tip of his finger	P
Touch aught as he passed it was death	X
Not a fruit on the boughs made him linger	P
Nor the great heaps of gold underneath	Y
But on he fled holding his breath	X
	-
Until he espied brightly burning	Z
The mystical lamp in its place	D
He plucked the hot wick out and turning	Z
With triumph and joy in his face	D
Set out his long way to retrace	D
	-
At last he saw where daylight shed a	A2
Soft ray through a chink overhead	F
Where the crafty Magician was ready	T
To catch the first sound of his tread	F
Reach the lamp up to me first he said	F
	-
Aladdin with luck had grown bolder	P
And he cried Wait a bit and we'll see	T
Then with huge ugly push of his shoulder	P
And with strong heavy thrust of his knee	T
The wizard so angry was he	T
	-
Pried up the great rock rolled it over	P
The door with an oath and a stamp	B2
Stay there under that little cover	P
And die of the mildew and damp	B2
He shouted or give me the lamp	B2
	-
Aladdin saw darkness fall o'er him	C2
He clutched at the lamp in his hand	F
And happening to rub it before him	C2
A Genius stood stately and grand	F
Whence he came he could not understand	F
	-
I obey you it said and whatever	P
You ask for or wish you shall have	D2
Rub the lamp but the least bit soever	P
It calls me for I am its slave	E2
Aladdin said Open this cave	E2
	-
He was freed from the place in a minute	F
And he rubbed once again Take me home	F2
Home he was And as blithe as a linnet	F
Rubbed again for the Genius with Come	G2
I am dying for food get me some	G2
	-
Thus at first he but valued his treasure	P
Because simple wants it supplied	F
Grown older it furnished him pleasure	P
And then it brought riches beside	F
And at last it secured him his bride	F
	-
Now the Princess most lovely of any	T
Was Badroulboudour what a name	H2
Who though sought for and sued for by many	T
No matter how grandly they came	H2
Yet merrily laughed them to shame	H2
	-
Until with his riches and splendor	P
Aladdin as lover enrolled	F
For the first thing he did was to send her	P
Some forty great baskets of gold	F
And all the fine gems they would hold	F
	-
Then he built her a palace set thickly	T
With jewels at window and door	P
And all was completed so quickly	T
She saw bannered battlements soar	P
Where was nothing an hour before	P
	-
There millions of servants attended	F
Black slaves and white slaves thick as bees	W
Obedient attentive and splendid	F
In purple and gold liveries	W
Fine to see swift to serve sure to please	W
	-
Him she wedded They lived without trouble	I2
As long as the lamp was their own	J2
But one day like the burst of a bubble	I2
The palace and Princess were gone	K2
Without wings to fly they had flown	J2
	-
And Aladdin dismayed to discover	P
That the lamp had been stolen away	L2
Bent all of his strength to recover	P
The treasure and day after day	L2
He journeyed this way and that way	L2
	-
And at last after terrible hazard	F
After many a peril and strife	M2
He found that the vengeful old wizard	F
Who had made the attempt on his life	M2
Had stolen lamp princess and wife	M2
	-
With a shrewdness which would have done credit	F
To even a Yankee boy he	T
Sought the lamp where the wizard had hid it	F
And turning a mystical key	T
Brought it forth and then rubbing with glee	T
	-
Back to China he cried In a minute	F
The marvellous palace uprose	W
With the Princess Badroulboudour in it	F
Unruffled in royal repose	W
With her jewels and cloth of gold clothes	W
	-
And with gay clouds of banners and towers	W
With its millions of slaves white and black	N2
It was borne by obedient Powers	W
As swift as the wind on its track	N2
And ere one could count ten it was back	N2
	-
And ever thereafter Aladdin	K
Clung close to the lamp of his fate	F
Whatever the robe he was clad in	K
Or whether he fasted or ate	F
And at all hours early and late	F
Right lucky was Lord Aladdin	K
