IN RAMADAN
by George Cookson
(British army officer stationed in Egypt at the end of the 19th century)
published 1904Upon the parapet of the citadel
I gazed across the vast town at my feet;
'Twas nigh to sunset, and the heavy heat
Enshrouded all, naught could I clearly tell,
That rose above the amber mist; each street
Was hid from view, only the traffic's beat
Mixed with faint voices on my hearing fell.
At last the gold disc of the molten sun
Plunged down the desert hills, whereat I heard
The sudden thunder of the signal gun
The great heart of the faithful city stirred,
And rose in a wild cry—the fast was done...
