Summoned the faithful unto prayer and let

The "Allah Akbar" from the minaret

Invite to worship. 'Neath the lamps' lit gold

The many knelt and prayed.

Upon the old

Mosaics of the mosque—whose high vault steamed

With aloes' incense—lean ecstatics dreamed

Of Allah and his Prophet, and how great

Is God, and how unstable man's estate.

Conviction on him in this chanting low
