A. Clouston, [1881]\nTo shield me from Day's fervid glare,\n \u00a0\u00a0Thine oaks their fostering arms extend,\n As, anxious o\u2019er her infant care,\n \u00a0\u00a0I've seen a watchful mother bend.\nA brighter cup, a sweeter draught,\n \u00a0\u00a0I gather from that rill of thine,\n Than maddening drunkards ever quaffed,\n \u00a0\u00a0Than all the treasures of the vine.\nSo smooth the pebbles on its shore,\n \u00a0\u00a0That not a maid can thither stray,\n But counts her strings of jewels o\u2019er,\n \u00a0\u00a0And thinks the pearls have slipped away.","title":"Arabian Poetry: Shorter Pieces of Arabian Poetry: On the Vale of Bozaa, by Ahmed Ben Yousef Almenazy","type":"page"}
