1. A worn-out crackling camel in the dark
Whose guide for direction pierced her flank

2. When watered with what she was fed
Her urine increased her provisions

3. And when she gulped her own spittle
She vomited her liver in her vomit

4. She wanders astray from it yet cares not
And with it she is led though she’s accustomed

5. She sees her mate ever above her
While from another came her offspring
