-
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares, that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 – 1882)
~~~~~~~~~
Still eyes look coldly upon me,
Cold voices whisper and say --
'He is crazed with the spell of far Arabia,
They have stolen his wits away.'—Walter de la Mare (1873 - 1958)
