Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCCECFGHGIHJ| THE OASIS OF SIDI KHALED | A |
| How the earth burns Each pebble underfoot | B |
| Is as a living thing with power to wound | C |
| The white sand quivers and the footfall mute | D |
| Of the slow camels strikes but gives no sound | C |
| As though they walked on flame not solid ground | C |
| 'Tis noon and the beasts' shadows even have fled | E |
| Back to their feet and there is fire around | C |
| And fire beneath and overhead the sun | F |
| Pitiful heaven What is this we view | G |
| Tall trees a river pools where swallows fly | H |
| Thickets of oleander where doves coo | G |
| Shades deep as midnight greenness for tired eyes | I |
| Hark how the light winds in the palm tops sigh | H |
| Oh this is rest Oh this is paradise | J |
