| O lithe limbed Beeshareen | B |
| Face that finds no maid coy | A |
| Page for some peerless queen | B |
| Some Orient queen of old | C |
| Sumptuous in woven gold | C |
| Close clinging fold on fold | C |
| Lightning with gems between | B |
| - | |
| Bred in the desert where | D |
| Only to breathe and be | E |
| Alive in living air | D |
| Is finest ecstasy | E |
| Where just to ride or rove | F |
| With sun or stars above | G |
| Intoxicates like love | G |
| When love shall come to thee | E |
| - | |
| Thy lovely limbs are bare | D |
| Only a rag in haste | H |
| Draped with a princely air | D |
| Girdles they slender waist | H |
| And gaudy beads and charms | I |
| Dangling from neck and arms | I |
| Ward off dread spells and harms | I |
| Of Efreets of the waste | H |
| - | |
| Caressed of wind and sun | B |
| Across the white walled town | B |
| Fawnlike we saw thee run | B |
| Light Love in Mocha brown | B |
| Wild Cupid without wings | J |
| Twanging thy viol strings | J |
| With crocodiles and rings | J |
| Bartered for half a crown | B |
| - | |
| Spoilt darling of our bark | K |
| Smiling with teeth as white | L |
| As when across the dark | K |
| There breaks a flash of light | L |
| And what a careless grace | M |
| Showed in thy gait and pace | M |
| Eyes starlike in a face | M |
| Sweet as a Nubian night | L |
| - | |
| Better than Felt or Fez | N |
| High on thy forehead set | O |
| Countless in lock and tress | P |
| Waved a wild mane of jet | O |
| Kings well might envy thee | E |
| What courts but rarely see | E |
| Curls of rich ebony | E |
| Coiled in a coronet | O |
| - | |
| Lo in dim days long since | Q |
| The strolling Almehs tell | R |
| Thou shouldst have been a prince | Q |
| Boy of the ebon fell | R |
| If truth the poet sings | J |
| Thy tribe oh Beduin springs | J |
| From those lost tribes of Kings | J |
| Once Kings in Israel | S |
| - | |
| Ah me the camp fires gleam | T |
| Out yonder where the sands | U |
| Fade like a lotos dream | T |
| In hollow twilight lands | U |
| Our sail swells to the blast | V |
| Our boat speeds far and fast | V |
| Farewell And to the last | V |
| Smile waving friendly hands | U |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| From England's storm girt isle | W |
| O'er seas where seagulls wail | X |
| Rocked on the rippling Nile | W |
| We drift with drooping sail | X |
| On waters hushed at night | L |
| Where stars of Egypt write | L |
| In hieroglyphs of light | L |
| Their undeciphered tale | X |
| - | |
| Forlorn sits Assouan | E |
| Where is her boy her pride | Y |
| Now in the lamplit Khan | E |
| Now by the riverside | Y |
| Or where the Soudanese | U |
| Under mimosa trees | U |
| Chaunt mournful melodies | U |
| We've sought him far and wide | Y |
| - | |
| Oh desert nurtured Child | Z |
| How dared they carry thee | E |
| Far from thy native Wild | Z |
| Across the Western Sea | E |
| Packed off poor boy at last | V |
| With many a plaster cast | V |
| Of plinth and pillar vast | V |
| And waxen mummies piled | Z |
| - | |
| Ah just like other ware | D |
| For a lump sum or so | U |
| Shipped to the World's great Fair | D |
| To big Chicago Show | U |
| With mythic beasts and things | U |
| Beetles and bulls with wings | U |
| And imitation Sphinx | U |
| Ranged row on curious row | U |
| - | |
| Beautiful black eyed boy | A |
| Ah me how strange it is | U |
| That thou the desert's joy | A |
| Whom heavenly winds would kiss | U |
| With Ching and Chang hwa ware | D |
| Blue pots and bronzes rare | D |
| Shouldst now be over there | D |
| Shown at Porkopolis | U |
| - | |
| Gone like a lovely dream | T |
| Child of the starry smile | W |
| Gone from the glowing stream | T |
| Glassing its greenest isle | W |
| We've sought but sought in vain | E |
| Thou wilt not come again | E |
| Never for bliss or pain | E |
| Home to thy orphaned Nile | W |
