THE CAMEL-DRIVER TO HIS CAMEL

Fleet is thy foot: thou shalt rest by the etl tree; Water shalt thou drink from the blue-deep well; Allah send his gard’ner with the green bersim, For thy comfort, fleet one, by the etl tree. As the stars fly, have thy footsteps flown— Deep is the well, drink, and be still once more; Till the pursuing winds, panting, have found thee And, defeated, sink still beside thee— By the well and the etl tree.
