Ancient Wonders Poem by Brian Stafford

I'm on the Pharos lighthouse,
as the keeper of the light;
A sight of awe and wonder,
especially at night;
People come from miles around,
to marvel at the sight;
A view that nothing can compare,
great if Alexander could be there;

It's a wonder,
It's a wonder,
an ancient wonder of the world;

I'm in the gardens of Babylon,
as the gardener who hangs around,
Planting trees and plants from Persia,
on the terraces and slopes;
With water from the Euphrates,
to help them on the way;
An ancient joy and pleasure,
for Nebuchadnezzar to behold;

It's a wonder,
It's a wonder,
an ancient wonder of the world.
