The Sorceress!

I asked her, “Is Aladdin’s lamp
  Hidden anywhere?”
  “Look into your heart,” she said,
  “Aladdin’s lamp is there.”

She took my heart with glowing hands.
  It burned to dust and air
  And smoke and rolling thistledown
  Blowing everywhere.

“Follow the thistledown,” she said,
  “Till doomsday, if you dare,
  Over the hills and far away.
  Aladdin’s lamp is there.”
