Of all that Orient lands can vaunt	A
Of marvels with our own competing	B
The strangest is the Haschish plant	A
And what will follow on its eating	B
What pictures to the taster rise	C
Of Dervish or of Almeh dances	D
Of Eblis or of Paradise	E
Set all aglow with Houri glances	F
The poppy visions of Cathay	G
The heavy beer trance of the Suabian	H
The wizard lights and demon play	G
Of nights Walpurgis and Arabian	H
The Mollah and the Christian dog	I
Change place in mad metempsychosis	F
The Muezzin climbs the synagogue	I
The Rabbi shakes his beard at Moses	F
The Arab by his desert well	J
Sits choosing from some Caliph's daughters	F
And hears his single camel's bell	J
Sound welcome to his regal quarters	F
The Koran's reader makes complaint	A
Of Shitan dancing on and off it	A
The robber offers alms the saint	A
Drinks Tokay and blasphemes the Prophet	A
Such scenes that Eastern plant awakes	F
But we have one ordained to beat it	A
The Haschish of the West which makes	F
Or fools or knaves of all who eat it	A
The preacher eats and straight appears	F
His Bible in a new translation	H
Its angels negro overseers	F
And Heaven itself a snug plantation	H
The man of peace about whose dreams	F
The sweet millennial angels cluster	K
Tastes the mad weed and plots and schemes	F
A raving Cuban filibuster	K
The noisiest Democrat with ease	F
It turns to Slavery's parish beadle	L
The shrewdest statesman eats and sees	F
Due southward point the polar needle	L
The Judge partakes and sits erelong	I
Upon his bench a railing blackguard	A
Decides off hand that right is wrong	I
And reads the ten commandments backward	A
O potent plant so rare a taste	A
Has never Turk or Gentoo gotten	H
The hempen Haschish of the East	A
Is powerless to our Western Cotton	H
