I
Memphis and Karnak, Luxor, Thebes, the Nile:
Of these your letters told; and I who read
...
Let others give you wealth and love,
And guard you while you live;
I cannot set my gift above
The gifts that others give.
...
Drowsily come the sheep
From the place where the pastures be,
By a dusty lane
To the fold again,
...
O clinging hands, and eyes where sleep has set
Her seal of peace, go not from me so soon.
O little feet, take not the pathway yet,
The dust of other feet with tears is wet,
...
