Excerpt from Sweet Alyssum Poems A Dream In The Desert. (Abouasan, an aged Arabian, and Pharandaces, a young Persian, approaching an oasis). Pharandaces: Nay, friend, I owned some charm in desert life At early morn, when yonder mountains threw From their bald heads broad shadows to the base; Or yester eve, when all the warm winds blew, Moving the sand like some soft swell at sea. Abouasan: Ah! now 'tis changed indeed. Pharandaces: Now, not the scant shade of o'er hanging rock; And, here, the sand ridge-rolled as outcast field, There, smooth as surf-beat shore or shingly beach, That makes more tense this glare of quivering light. Still, too, so still! No partridge heard to whirr, Nor bark of jackal as he scours the plain, No eagle flies its cloudland home to reach, Only the vultures in broad circles sweep Scenting the bones of some dead caravan.

Excerpt from Wild Flowers At Bethlehem. Now the hour hath come, and the Babe is born, And our hope-filled hearts beat high and fast; For we know this is Joy's supremest hour, And this time of grace cannot always last. Let us haste away to the manger crib, To lay our hearts at the Infant's feet, To place our hopes in the Mother's hands, And unite in the mystic scene so sweet. Let us shrink not back from the midnight air, But joyfully follow the shepherds afar: We will keep within pace of the Orient band, And steadily walk in the trail of the star.
