A. Clouston, [1881]\nIn vain, to wean my constant heart,\n \u00a0\u00a0Or quench my glowing flame, they strove:\n Each deep-laid scheme, each envious art,\n \u00a0\u00a0But waked my fears for her I love.\n\u2019Twas this compelled the stern decree\n \u00a0\u00a0That forced thee to those distant towers,\n And left me nought but love for thee,\n \u00a0\u00a0To cheer my solitary hours.\nYet let not Abla sink depressed,\n \u00a0\u00a0Nor separation's pangs deplore:\n We meet not\u2014\u2019tis to meet more blest;\n \u00a0\u00a0We parted\u2014\u2019tis to part no more.","title":"Arabian Poetry: Shorter Pieces of Arabian Poetry: To His Favourite Mistress, by Saif Addaulet, Sultan of Aleppo","type":"page"}
