This is the Key of the Kingdom:

In that Kingdom is a city;

In that city is a town;

In that town there is a street;

In that street there winds a lane;

In that lane there is a yard;

In that yard there is a house;

In that house there waits a room;

In that room an empty bed;

And on that bed a basket—

A Basket of Sweet Flowers:

Of Flowers, of Flowers;

A Basket of Sweet Flowers.

Flowers in a Basket;

Basket on the bed;

Bed in the chamber;

Chamber in the house;

House in the weedy yard;

Yard in the winding lane;

Lane in the broad street;

Street in the high town;

Town in the city;

City in the Kingdom—

This is the Key of the Kingdom.

Of the Kingdom this is the Key.
