And to the last <br>Smile, waving friendly hands. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">* * * * * *</div><div style="margin:10px 0">From England's storm-girt isle, <br>O'er seas where seagulls wail, <br>Rocked on the rippling Nile, <br>We drift with drooping sail. <br>On waters hushed at night, <br>Where stars of Egypt write <br>In hieroglyphs of light <br>Their undeciphered tale. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Forlorn sits Assouan; <br>Where is her boy, her pride?-- <br>Now in the lamplit Khan, <br>Now by the riverside, <br>Or where the Soudanese, <br>Under mimosa trees, <br>Chaunt mournful melodies, <br>We've sought him far and wide. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Oh, desert-nurtured Child, <br>How dared they carry thee, <br>Far from thy native Wild, <br>Across the Western Sea? <br>Packed off, poor boy, at last, <br>With many a plaster cast <br>Of plinth and pillar vast, <br>And waxen mummies piled! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Ah! just like other ware, <br>For a lump sum or so <br>Shipped to the World's great Fair-- <br>To big Chicago Show! <br>With mythic beasts and things, <br>Beetles and bulls with wings, <br>And imitation Sphinx, <br>Ranged row on curious row! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Beautiful, black-eyed boy; <br>Ah me! how strange it is <br>That thou, the desert's joy, <br>Whom heavenly winds would kiss, <br>With Ching and Chang-hwa ware, <br>Blue pots and bronzes rare, <br>Shouldst now be over there <br>Shown at Porkopolis. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Gone like a lovely dream, <br>Child of the starry smile; <br>Gone from the glowing stream <br>Glassing its greenest isle! <br>We've sought, but sought in vain; <br>Thou wilt not come again, <br>Never for bliss or pain, <br>Home to thy orphaned Nile.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Mathilde+Blind">Mathilde Blind</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=456051" data-title="The Beautiful Beeshareen Boy de Mathilde Blind" data-description="Beautiful, black-eyed boy, O lithe-limbed Beeshareen!
