A Child's Garden of Verses (1885) 
by
Robert Louis Stevenson Travel I should like to rise and go 
Where the golden apples grow;-- 
Where below another sky 
Parrot islands anchored lie, 
And, watched by cockatoos and goats, 
Lonely Crusoes building boats;-- 
Where in sunshine reaching out 
Eastern cities, miles about, 
Are with mosque and minaret 
Among sandy gardens set, 
And the rich goods from near and  Here is more about [[https://jetblacktransportation.com/blog/best-limo-long-island/|best limo long island]] look into our webpage. far 

Hang for  [[https://jetblacktransportation.com/blog/best-limo-long-island/|best limo long island]] sale in the bazaar;--
Where the Great Wall round China goes, 
And on one side the desert blows, 
And with the voice and bell and drum, 
Cities on the other hum;-- 
Where are forests hot as fire, 
Wide as England, tall as a spire, 
Full of apes and cocoa-nuts

Where the knotty crocodile 
Lies and blinks in the Nile, 
And the red flamingo flies 

Hunting fish before his eyes;--
Where in jungles near and far, 
Man-devouring tigers are, 
Lying close and giving ear 
Lest the hunt be drawing near, 
Or a comer-by be seen 
Swinging in the palanquin;-- 
Where among the desert sands 
Some deserted city stands, 
All its children, sweep and prince, 
Grown to manhood ages since,

Not a stir of child or mouse, 

And when kindly falls the night,
In all the town no spark of light. 
There I'll come when I'm a man 
With a camel caravan;
Light a fire in the gloom 
Of some dusty dining-room;
See the pictures on the walls, 
Heroes fights and festivals;
And  [[https://jetblacktransportation.com/blog/best-limo-long-island/|best limo long island]] in a corner find the toys 
Of the old Egyptian boys.
