COPYRIGHTED 1918 BY JAMES T. WHITE & CO.

TO ABU'L-ALA

In thy fountained peristyles of Reason Glows the light and flame of desert noons; And in the cloister of thy pensive Fancy Wisdom burns the spikenard of her moons.

Closed by Fate the portals of the dwelling Of thy sight, the light thus inward flowed; And on the shoulders of the crouching Darkness Thou hast risen to the highest road.
