She sits all day on an ebon couch

Where golden ruby-eyed leopards crouch.



Great black cobras, all the day,

In even measured cadence sway.

And close at her ivory shoulder stay.



And ever beside her, in her place.

Stands a maid with a panther’s face.



Holding a goblet brimming full

Of wine of a curious ebon shade.

And all the day on a golden skull

Bast taps with her fingernails of jade,



Making a music bitter and keen,

And her eyes burn with a brooding sheen—

And the cobras dance before their queen.



But night comes black, and the stars arise,

And the desert wind through the window sighs;



And Bast lets fall the silver sand

In a burning stream from her ivory hand,

And pale ghosts come from Shadowland.



The stars gleam on the sands below,

And the curtains waver to and fro;

And Bast revels with pallid shades

Who lived and loved her long ago.
