Secure—if not the Arab’s guest?

Haste thee! and leave my threshold-floor

Inviolate and pure!

Let not thy presence tempt me more,

—Man may not thus endure!

Away! I bear a fetter’d arm,

A heart that burns—but must not harm.

Begone! outstrip the swift gazelle!

The wind in speed subdue!

Fear cannot fly so swift, so well,
