Show BEDOUIN LOVE SONG. From the desert I came to thee, On a stallion shod with flro; And the winds are left behind In the speed of my desire. Under thy window I atand, And the midnight hears ray cry; 1 love thee, I lovo but thee, With a love that shall not die Till the sun grows cold, And tho stars are old, And the leaves of the Judgment Book unfold I Look from thy window and seo Jly passion and my pain! I Ho on the sand below, And I faint in thy disdain. Let the night winds touch my brow With them eat of my burning sigh, And melt thee to hear the vow Of a lovo that shall not die, Till the bun grows cold, And the stars are old, And the leave of tho Judgment Book unfold! M steps are nightly driven By the fever in my breast, To hear from thy lattice breathed Tho word that shall give me rest. Opon the door of my heart, And open thy chamber door, And my kisses shall touch thy lips The Ioe that shall fade no more Till the sun giows cold, And the stars are old, And the leaves of the Judgment Book unfold! oo |
