Answer 1

Well, it's not exactly an ode, but there is this:

Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)

Recollections of the Arabian Nights


1When the breeze of a joyful dawn blew free
2In the silken sail of infancy,
3The tide of time flow'd back with me,
4 The forward-flowing tide of time;
5And many a sheeny summer-morn,
6Adown the Tigris I was borne,
7By Bagdat's shrines of fretted gold,
8High-walled gardens green and old;
9True Mussulman was I and sworn,
10 For it was in the golden prime
11 Of good Haroun Alraschid.

12Anight my shallop, rustling thro'
13The low and bloomed foliage, drove
14The fragrant, glistening deeps, and clove
15The citron-shadows in the blue:
16By garden porches on the brim,
17The costly doors flung open wide,
18Gold glittering thro' lamplight dim,
19And broider'd sofas on each side:
20 In sooth it was a goodly time,
21 For it was in the golden prime
22 Of good Haroun Alraschid.

23Often, where clear-stemm'd platans guard
24The outlet, did I turn away
25The boat-head down a broad canal
26From the main river sluiced, where all
27The sloping of the moon-lit sward
28Was damask-work, and deep inlay
29Of braided blooms unmown, which crept
30Adown to where the water slept.
31 A goodly place, a goodly time,
32 For it was in the golden prime
33 Of good Haroun Alraschid.

34A motion from the river won
35Ridged the smooth level, bearing on
36My shallop thro' the star-strown calm,
37Until another night in night
38I enter'd, from the clearer light,
39Imbower'd vaults of pillar'd palm,
40Imprisoning sweets, which, as they clomb
41Heavenward, were stay'd beneath the dome
42 Of hollow boughs.--A goodly time,
43 For it was in the golden prime
44 Of good Haroun Alraschid."
