The Colonial Wing |
Here is the storehouse of her majesty |
Well guarded by sentry |
But looks are free |
Call this the rayless and benighted age |
Witches by tallow candles |
Shifted their shapes |
Here is the pestle and mortar |
That ground the poison seed |
A lute, a suit for jousting |
And the poems of a balladeer |
When all the latin books were copied off |
In golden script |
Hoarded away in |
A monastery crypt |
Superstition beyond belief |
Over mountain, over dune and over sea |
Crude map and compass lead the caravan |
And lead the fleet |
Here is the loot and plunder |
They bore home |
Ivory tusk inlaid with precious stone |
Raw silk and spices by the barrel load |
A soft skin drum with mallets |
Of human bone |
A world wide rampage |
Rampage of greed |
So here the tour concludes |
The colonial wing |
The rooms of the most refined |
Museum property |
An early pair of spectacles |
A claw footed divan |
Ornate clocks with birds that strut |
On the half hours and quarter hours |
Hear them chime |
