A. Clouston, [1881]\nThe violet ever scents the gale,\n \u00a0\u00a0Its hues adorn the fairest wreath;\n But sweetest through a dewy veil\n \u00a0\u00a0Its colours glow, its odours breathe.\nAnd thus thy charms in brightness rise:\n \u00a0\u00a0When Wit and Pleasure round thee play;\n When Mirth sits smiling in thine eyes,\n \u00a0\u00a0Who but admires their sprightly ray?\n But when through Pity's flood they gleam,\n \u00a0\u00a0Who but must love their softened beam?","title":"Arabian Poetry: Shorter Pieces of Arabian Poetry: To a Lady Weeping, by Ebn Alrumi","type":"page"}
