A Tale in Prose and Verse
The desert traveller mid the driving sands,
Sinking with thirst—what matters if his hands
Hold pearls or dust? His dried mouth curseth both!
So, when a man with hunger falls to die,
What difference whether in his girdle cloth
He hideth gold or only frippery?
Sinking with thirst—what matters if his hands
Hold pearls or dust? His dried mouth curseth both!
So, when a man with hunger falls to die,
What difference whether in his girdle cloth
He hideth gold or only frippery?
