Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIJKK LLMMFFNOPPQQRRSSTTPP UUVWXX| I should like to rise and go | A |
| Where the golden apples grow | A |
| Where below another sky | B |
| Parrot islands anchored lie | B |
| And watched by cockatoos and goats | C |
| Lonely Crusoes building boats | C |
| Where in sunshine reaching out | D |
| Eastern cities miles about | D |
| Are with mosque and minaret | E |
| Among sandy gardens set | E |
| And the rich goods from near and far | F |
| Hang for sale in the bazaar | F |
| Where the Great Wall round China goes | G |
| And on one side the desert blows | G |
| And with the voice and bell and drum | H |
| Cities on the other hum | H |
| Where are forests hot as fire | I |
| Wide as England tall as a spire | J |
| Full of apes and cocoa nuts | K |
| And the negro hunters' huts | K |
| Where the knotty crocodile | L |
| Lies and blinks in the Nile | L |
| And the red flamingo flies | M |
| Hunting fish before his eyes | M |
| Where in jungles near and far | F |
| Man devouring tigers are | F |
| Lying close and giving ear | N |
| Lest the hunt be drawing near | O |
| Or a comer by be seen | P |
| Swinging in the palanquin | P |
| Where among the desert sands | Q |
| Some deserted city stands | Q |
| All its children sweep and prince | R |
| Grown to manhood ages since | R |
| Not a foot in street or house | S |
| Not a stir of child or mouse | S |
| And when kindly falls the night | T |
| In all the town no spark of light | T |
| There I'll come when I'm a man | P |
| With a camel caravan | P |
| Light a fire in the gloom | U |
| Of some dusty dining room | U |
| See the pictures on the walls | V |
| Heroes fights and festivals | W |
| And in a corner find the toys | X |
| Of the old Egyptian boys | X |
