Beauty! source of joy and pain; Beauty! that no words can speak;Mejnouns eyes must fixed remain On the rose of Leilas in Loves great empire whereIs a face so heavenly fair ?When I look on thee no more,Eden tempts me with its store;And the Tuba^^^ vainly throwsOer the sceneherperfumed a Paradise can ownWhen I gaze on Thee alone. Lo! I die, and carry hence Nought of profit nor offence; After lifes brief toil is past, I am base and poor at last. When both worlds I thus resign. Why should hell or heaven be mine? Who shall read his future lot ? I am blind, and see it not. On the board Moasi traced But two lines—how soon effaced! They his destiny may show. But their meaning who shall know? m h Hi! i il v^ •^- Li -ri m ^^IX: t^L_Uv,!/^i ?S
