Sent the lit ripples to the shadowed shores.

A near muézzin's long, high-towered call

Went yearning up to star-lit architraves,

And dying left a silence over all,

Saving the grassy whisper of small waves.

THE BEGGAR

There was a man whom a king loved, and heard

With smiles his swift step and impetuous word

Among the slow-paced counsellors. To the young

Belong the careless hand, the daring tongue.
