First Line: You gave to me a camel black
Last Line: Bearing the camel and the load?
Subject(s): Camels; Gifts & Giving
You gave to me a camel black
And, loaded on the camel's back,
A load of silver glittered there
The camel struggled well to bear.
Now wonder at me, if you will,
For was it not more wondrous still
How, nourished by your hand, I strode
Bearing the camel and the load?
