marble town

Balkis was in her marble town, And shadow over the world came down.

They walked along its high banks, among stately groves, until they came to the marble town.

She described the beautiful white marble town, at the mouth of the river, and said she wished they could all go and live there.

But at last she lost sight of it, and instead of finding herself by the river on which the marble town was built, she came to the little old mill near her own home.

The former, tinted with a bright limestone sheen, would have supplied enough building material to make a whole marble town.
