Solomon to Sheba by W.B. Yeats

Sang Solomon to Sheba, / And kissed her dusky face, / 'All day long from mid-day / We have talked in the one place, / All day long from shadowless noon / We have gone round and round / In the narrow theme of love / Like an old horse in a pound.'

To Solomon sang Sheba, / Planted on his knees, / 'If you had broached a matter / That might the learned please, / You had before the sun had thrown / Our shadows on the ground / Discovered that my thoughts, not it, / Are but a narrow pound.'

Sang Solomon to Sheba, / And kissed her Arab eyes, / 'There's not a man or woman / Born under the skies / Dare match in learning with us two, / And all day long we have found / There's not a thing but love can make / The world a narrow pound. '
