Mathilde Blind - Welcome to Egypt

Mathilde Blind - Welcome to Egypt

The Palms stood motionless as Pyramids br Against the golden halo of the sky; br Interminable crops of wheat and rye br Mantled the plain with downy coverlids br Of silken green, where little freckled kids br Frolicked beneath the staid maternal eye; br And babe-led buffaloes plashed trampling by, br Sprinkling cool water on their dusty lids. br br Spake the grave Arab, as his flashing glance br Swept the large, luminous verdure's dewy sheen, br Sedately, with a bronze-like countenance: br "Nehârak Saîd! Lo, this happy day, br My country decks herself in sumptuous green, br And smiling welcome, Lady, bids you stay.
