Djabal, when first I saw you ... (by our porch

You leant, and pressed the tinkling veil away,

And one fringe fell behind your neck—I see!)

... I knew you were not human, for I said

"This dim secluded house where the sea beats

Is heaven to me—my people's huts are hell

To them; this august form will follow me,

Mix with the waves his voice will,—I have him;

And they, the Prefect! Oh, my happiness

Rounds to the full whether I choose or no!
