The Song Of Fatima

Oh ! sad are they who know not love But, í'ar from passiou's tears aucl smiles, Drilt down a moonlesa sea, and pasa Tlie silver coasta oí iairy isles ! And sadder they whose longing lips Kiss emuty air, and never touch Tlie dear warm inouth of those they love, - Waitiug, wasting, sufferiug much ! But ciear as amber, sweet as musk, ís Ufe to those whose Uves unite ; They walk in Allah's smile by day, And nestle in his heart by iiight.
