Solomon to Sheba
| Sang Solomon to Sheba, | | And kissed her dusky face, | | ‘All day long from mid-day | | We have talked in the
one place, | | All day long from shadowless noon | | We have gone round and round | | In the narrow theme of
love | | Like an old horse in a pound.’ | | | | | | To Solomon sang Sheba, | | Planted on his knees, | | ‘If you had broached
a matter | | That might the learned please, | | You had before the sun had thrown | | Our shadows on the ground | | Discovered that my thoughts, not it, | | Are but a narrow pound.’ | | | | | | Said Solomon to Sheba, | | And kissed her
Arab eyes, | | ‘There’s not a man or woman | | Born under the skies | | Dare match in learning with us two, | | And
all day long we have found | | There’s not a thing but love can make | | The world a narrow pound.’ |
