Aladdin's lamp is there." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FIRST PROCLAMATION OF MILES STANDISH [NOVEMBER 23, 1620] by MARGARET JUNKIN PRESTON TO S.M., A YOUNG AFRICAN PAINTER, ON SEEING HIS WORKS by PHILLIS WHEATLEY THE DOUBLE-HEADED SNAKE OF NEWBURY by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER TO A BUTTERFLY (1) by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THE WORLD AND THE QUIETEST by MATTHEW ARNOLD TANAGER by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN |
