Oh to great desert adrift in the sands Wondrous the tales in these ancient lands Wondrous the tales by fire til dawn Of Masters and Magic and Great Sulieman |

| Verses: | |

Come and you hear music begin Out in the desert a dance of the djhinn Out in the desert a revel til dawn Laughter in halls of Great Sulieman Carpets in flight from down on a floor Commonplace lantern making uproar Well counted thieves in well hidden lair Ali the servant—or princeling—in there Few there are who can claim to know Where the spirit of Sinbad may go. Where the spirit of Sinbad yet sings Of quiet power in forgotten rings Empire stretching from Tygris to Sea Empire calling her lore out to me Empire calling of songs long ago Take me to Persia where such things I’ll know Come see the lore well told on the page Of Scimitar flashing and Genie’s dark rage Come see the victor in forgotten fight Come feel the magic in one thousand nights |
