Dark Arab Horse Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Ben-Taleb

Dark Arab horse
That froths and
Rises high.

Restlessness be in you
There's beauty to
Thought married

I hear the sea-waves on
The shore
You
Coming from the sands
And nearby sand-dunes
The stars are so away
That only light for your
Restlessness
Be a smiling of moon's light.
Ben-Taleb!
Ben -Taleb
I hear the chains falling
You
Here Arabian music
On these beaches
And rushing seas
To-night!
See
Their glittering clanking
In to the night of dim
Light and silhouettes
By the sea-shore's a-roaring
Ben -Taleb the restless
high!
