V
Mohammed or Messiah! Hear thou me,
The truth entire nor here nor there can be;
How should our God who made the sun and moon
Give all his light to One, I cannot see.
VI
Come, let us with the naked Night now rest
And read in Allah's Book the sonnet best:
The Pleiads—ah, the Moon from them departs,—
She draws her veil and hastens toward the west.
