Arabic


Ascends like the hoof of a camel.	1
Descends like the foot of a crow.	2
Hum, Like listless topers singing o’er their cups.	3
Glowed red, like the ishrik seeds, fresh fallen, unbroken, bright.	4
Sweet as that which is forbidden.	5
Trembles … As the distracted herd, when they the lion meet.	6
Unchanged, like the cat which became blind, and still hankered after mice.	7
