Solomon to Sheba

Sang Solomon to Sheba，
     And kissed her dusky face，
     ‘All day long from mid-day
     We have talked in the one place，
     All day long from shadowless noon
     We have gone round and round
     In the narrow theme of love
     Like an old horse in a pound.‘
     To Solomon sang Sheba，
     Planted on his knees，
     ‘If you had broached a matter
     That might the learned please，
     You had before the sun had thrown
     Our shadows on the ground
     Discovered that my thoughts， not it，
     Are but a narrow pound.‘
     Said Solomon to Sheba，
     And kissed her Arab eyes，
     ‘There’s not a man or woman
     Born under the skies
     Dare match in learning with us two，
     And all day long we have found
     There‘s not a thing but love can make
     The world a narrow pound.‘
