Once in years, now long since vanished, Ere the dreaded hand of genii Gave the lamp to an Aladdin, Or the fabled fairy mother Brought the handsome, young Prince Charming To ill-treated Cinderella, High above the world suspended Was a wondrous magic mirror. From the time that Adam's sinning Drove him from fair Eden's garden. Down thru years when Joseph's brothers Took his coat of many colors, And when Caesar, in his triumph. Led thru Rome victorious legions, On the unknown magic mirror These events were all recorded. Now in ev'ry clime and country — England. Spain and distant China — Kings and queens and ragged beggar, Heroes brave of past and present, Scenes both tragic and amusing, All are faithfully recorded And revealed to us nightly By the mighty magic mirror. Xo one knew of its existence Till a wonderful inventor From the heavens drew the lightning, And, with hand of skill and genius Marvelous as a magician's. Greater far than necromancer's, Formed a film ; in its unrolling Was restored the magic mirror.
