A Modern Arabian Night

By the Breeze of the Gulf,
On a Corniche pave..

Hemmed in by towers,
Of Iron and Steel,
That touch the sky,
But have no Veil;

No Carved gold Chalice for Wine,
No desert-apostle Camel,
No..Arabia has left
No stone for Flamel..

I steal a last glance,and behold a
Stone Mosque,Illumined like Aladdin's Haven,
And She signals to me,that behind the Sheen,
She is an Arabian Night still...
