Enshrined within the chambers of my heart!

I would build thee a palace, richer far

Than princely Aladeen’s renowned of old;

Its walls and columns of the massiest gold,

And every gem encrusting it a star!

Thy throne should be an Alp, o’ercanopied

With rainbows, and a shielded Moon o’erhead;

Thy coffers should o’erflow, and mock the Ind,

Whose boasted wealth would dwindle into naught

The rich-ored driftings of the streams of Thought
