William Butler Yeats - Solomon To Sheba
Work rating: Low

SANG Solomon to Sheba,
And kissed her dusky face,
"All day long from mid-day
We have talked in the one place,
All day long from shadowless noon
We have gone round and round
In the narrow theme of love
Like a old horse in a pound.-
To Solomon sang Sheba,
Plated on his knees,
"If you had broached a matter
That might the learned please,
You had before the sun had thrown
Our shadows on the ground
Discovered that my thoughts, not it,
Are but a narrow pound.`
Said Solomon to Sheba,
And kissed her Arab eyes,
"There`s not a man or woman
Born under the skies
Dare match in learning with us two,
And all day long we have found
There`s not a thing but love can make
The world a narrow pound.`
