SINGING, by CECILIA MACKINNON

Last Line: And mine should be at ease.

I WOULD make for you a song
Full of foreign airs,
Full of towers and balconies
And fine Damascus wares;
In my song would glitter
Minaret and dome,
So you could go a-journeying,
Yet I should have you home.
I would cause a magic
From my song to fall,
Taking you through Araby
To the Chinese Wall,
Lifting you before the mast
Into southern seas;
Your heart would then have its desire,
And mine should be at ease.
