THE CALL OF THE DESERT, by EMILY BALDWIN First Line: Camels kneeling in the desert Last Line: But to desert-dwellers known. Subject(s): Deserts; Food & Eating | ||||||||
Camels kneeling in the desert, Arabs calling this their home, Hills of sand are daily shifting, Sun relentless, haughty, burning, Glaring, from a flaming throne. Only men and camels venture To subdue this thirsty waste; Maybe here they see a beauty But to desert-dwellers known. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WAITRESSING IN THE ROOM WITH A THOUSAND MOONS by MATTHEA HARVEY CANDIED YAMS' by TERRANCE HAYES DINNER OF HERBS by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN THE BANQUET SONG by KENNETH KOCH SPLITTING AN ORDER by TED KOOSER THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD: PASTORAL 3.
