| Eastern cities miles about | D |
| Are with mosque and minaret | E |
| Among sandy gardens set | E |
| And the rich goods from near and far | F |
| Hang for sale in the bazaar | F |
| Where the Great Wall round China goes | G |

| With a camel caravan | P |
| Light a fire in the gloom | U |
| Of some dusty dining room | U |
| See the pictures on the walls | V |
| Heroes fights and festivals | W |
| And in a corner find the toys | X |
| Of the old Egyptian boys | X |
