THE BEDOUINS OF THE SKIES by JAMES BENJAMIN KENYON

First Line: YON CLOUDS THAT ROAM THE DESERTS OF THE AIR
Last Line: ERE ISHMAEL'S SPIRIT DRIVES THEM FORTH AGAIN.

YON clouds that roam the deserts of the air,
On wind-swift barbs, o'er many an azure plain,
Scarce pause to lift to Allah one small prayer,
Ere Ishmael's spirit drives them forth again.
