Excerpt from The Caliph's Secret and Other Verses The Caliph's Secret. Haroun-al-raschid often walked Disguised, through haunts of men, And gained fresh knowledge, as he talked With each poor citizen. Full many winding ways obscure Haroun-al-Raschid saw, And with a justice swift and sure Upheld and kept the law. Amidst the splendors of his court He dazzled all mankind, And yet he welcomed at his port The poor, the maimed, the blind. Though courtiers frowned, in high disdain, His answer, firm and low, Brought ever mercy in its train: "I and my people know." Haroun a secret stronghold had, A tower of massive stone, Where none might enter, good or bad, Save just himself alone.
