“Arab Love\u00a0 Song”<\/p>\n
“The humped camels of the night<\/p>\n
Trouble the bright<\/p>\n
And silver waters of the moon.<\/p>\n
The maiden of the Morn will soon<\/p>\n
Through Heaven stray and sing,<\/p>\n
Star gathering.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now while the dark about our loves is strewn,<\/p>\n
Light of my dark, blood of my heart, O come!<\/p>\n
And night will catch her breath up,<\/p>\n
and be dumb.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Leave thy father, leave thy mother<\/p>\n
And thy brother;<\/p>\n
leave the black tents of thy tribe apart!<\/p>\n
Am I not thy father and thy brother,<\/p>\n
And thy mother?<\/p>\n
And thou– what needest\u00a0 with thy tribe’s black tents<\/p>\n
who hast the red pavilion of my heart?”<\/p>\n
