Within their magic circle press,

O wanderers of the wilderness!

Heap high the pile, and by its blaze,

Tell the wild tales of elder days,—

Arabia’s wond’rous lore, that dwells

On warrior deeds and wizard spells;

Enchanted domes, mid scenes like these,

Rising to vanish with the breeze;

Gardens, whose fruits are gems, that shed

Their light where mortal may not tread;
