I asked her, "Is Aladdin's lamp Hidden anywhere?" "Look into your heart," she said, "Aladdin's lamp is there." She took my heart with glowing hands.

Aladdin's lamp is there." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHEN I WAS A BIRD by KATHERINE MANSFIELD A TOAST TO OUR NATIVE LAND by ROBERT BRIDGES (1858-1941) MARRIAGE A LA MODE: SONG by JOHN DRYDEN THE WAVES OF BREFFNY by EVA GORE-BOOTH BIRTH by ANNIE RAYMOND STILLMAN CRADLE SONG by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH LATE AUTUMN by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM |
