James Russell Lowell - AladdinJames Russell Lowell - Aladdin
Work rating: Low


When I was a beggarly boy   And lived in a cellar damp, I had not a friend nor a toy,   But I had Aladdin`s lamp; When I could not sleep for the cold,   I had fire enough in my brain, And builded, with roofs of gold,   My beautiful castles in Spain! Since then I have toiled day and night,   I have money and power good store, But I`d give all my lamps of silver bright   For the one that is mine no more; Take, Fortune, whatever you choose,   You gave, and may snatch again; I have nothing `twould pain me to lose,   For I own no more castles in Spain!
