| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Orientale | | By William Henley |
| | | SHE’S an enchanting little Israelite, | |
| A world of hidden dimples!—Dusky-eyed, | |
| A starry-glancing daughter of the Bride— | |
| With hair escaped from some Arabian Night; | |
| Her lip is red, her cheek is golden-white, | 5 |
| Her nose a scimitar; and, set aside | |
| The bamboo hat she cocks with so much pride, | |
| Her dress a dream of daintiness and delight. | |
| |
| And when she passes with the dreadful boys | |
| And romping girls, the cockneys loud and crude, | 10 |
| My thought to the Minories tied, but moved to range | |
| The Land o’ the Sun, commingles with the noise | |
| Of magian drums and scents of sandal-wood, | |
| A touch Sidonian, modern, taking, strange. | | | | |
