    • He hath kissed her with the kisses of his mouth,
      She is blacker than tents of Kedar,
      Her roses nod east and her roses nod south
      Across the wide casements of cedar,
      But the Rose of Sharon weeps theremid
      Until her true lover hath freed her.1973, Duse Mohamed, The African Times and Orient Review, volume 2, page 76
