| Oh I am lonely by a desert palm | B |
| And dreaming dreaming on the sands of thought | C |
| Oh come to me from out the voiceless calm | B |
| And teach me what the Nile has left untaught | C |
| - | |
| Bring to me a draught of Southern wine | D |
| The perfume of the near forgotten rose | E |
| Then let me drink beside some ancient shrine | D |
| And drinking let my tired eyelids close | F |
| - | |
| Come near to me The fast night hours are few | G |
| For every hour is fast when moons are clear | H |
| Scatter from my hair the desert dew | G |
| And lilt sweet Arab love songs in my ear | I |
| - | |
| Unloose the twilight hair about thy head | C |
| And listen to the waters deep and slow | J |
| For we are dreaming with the dreaming dead | C |
| Dreaming where the flowers of Isis blow | J |
| - | |
| Look not to where those eagles fiercely fight | C |
| Let peace alone be on the ancient bed | C |
| Unbare thy beauty to the Egypt night | C |
| And stay with me till Egypt s dawn in red | C |
| - | |
| Then leave me when the bird of night has flown | K |
| And touch my lips before the night moon sinks | L |
| I ll ponder by these pyramids of stone | K |
| And sit within the shadow of the Sphinx | L |
