Deep beneath those mouths majestic, Life ' s sweet songs reverberate; Deep witliin the bowls titanic, Wbisper-soft, In cadence grand. Swell the notes for him wlio hearkens Allah ' s voice to umlerstand. Boldly stand the m.vstic symbols. Stand tlie Ages rapture-still. Superstitious, awed to silence, Reading not great Allah ' s will. j AMR the Centuries, viewed the Vessels. ijl Worshipped at the golden shrines, 6 ,Saw the symbols carven on them — Trinkets from Karth ' s treasure-mines! Came savants in ermined garments. Schooled in all of Learning ' s lore. Wisely sllenl. always eager, Adding to their wisdom ' s store.
