And still as moon-made shadows swim.

He stopp'd, he stood as still as stone,

He lean'd, he look'd, there glisten'd bright

From out the yellow yielding sand

A golden cup with jewell'd rim.

He lean'd him low, he reach'd a hand,

He caught it up, he gallop'd on,

He turn'd his head, he saw a sight ...

His panther skins flew to the wind,

The dark, the desert lay behind;
