The Yemeni Princess

Does the Sahel know you?

Remember this beauty as you passed?

And sing of you in these tireless winds.

In the dry lands that run on.

And don’t these cloudless skies recall you,

Saharan stars that shone on your gentle steps

For they saw the hopeful brightness of your heart

And the shimmering gossamer of spirit- Love.

And I will remember you, a broken man who saw you,

A fool on the road side, crushed and done.

And I will remember you oh Yemeni Princess.

For the beat of your heart helped me on.
