And Russian Jews from Lenkoran to Jask.

I have watched fat vessels crammed by sweating coolies

With all the rubbish that the rich devise,

And often I have wondered who the fool is

That takes it all, and whom the fool supplies.

"Yet ran my thoughts on her, though cedar rafters

Were laid on me, or mottled silk and plush,

Although the tinkling scales of varied laughters

Rode me from Bandar Abbas to Barfrush,

Or broken hearts from Astara to Gwetter.
