THE CAMEL-DRIVER TO HIS CAMEL

Gilbert Parker

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.
