Orval, or The Fool of Time | ||
XXIX.FATIMA AND MEHMED.
Beneath a milk-white almond tree,Fatima and Mehmed be.
The black earth is their bridal bed;
The thick-starrèd sky clear-spread
Is their coverlet all the night,
As they lie in each other's arms so white.
The grass is full of honey-dew;
The crescent moon, that glimmers through
The unrippled leaves, is faint and new:
And the milk-white almond blossoms
All night long fall on their bosoms.
