The Khamsin, at Cairo
A TAWNY terror in the light
That beats against each minaret.
Sands that entombed Osiris fight
With Allah, and shall vanquish yet.
The Sphinx awaits it; and the wind,
Born of the desert, sends a cry
Across her lips, lest she rescind
Her smile—that says all gods shall die.
That beats against each minaret.
Sands that entombed Osiris fight
With Allah, and shall vanquish yet.
The Sphinx awaits it; and the wind,
Born of the desert, sends a cry
Across her lips, lest she rescind
Her smile—that says all gods shall die.
