Lone sands blow free “In Dreamy Araby” In drifting billows like the rolling sea ; Where swarthy sheiks in burnous lead the van To guard and guide my trailing caravan. The treasures of the west I bear away Into the east where gasping Persians pray. Prostrate and sad when all they need, be sure, Is Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. —Advt
