A CARAVAN FROM CHINA COMES.
A caravan from Chtns comes; For miles It sweetens all the air With fragrant silks and dreaming gums, Attar, and myrrh— A caravan from China comes. O merchant, tell mc what you bring, With music sweet of camel bells; How long have you been travelling With these sweet smells? O merchant, tell mc what you bring. A lovely lady Is my freight, A lock escaped of her long hair, That is the perfume delicate That fills the air— A lovely lady is my freight. —From "New Poems," by Richard Le Gallienne.
