“She came from the uttermost part of the earth.”
“The half was not told me,” said Sheba's Queen,
Weighing that wealth of wisdom and of gold:
“Thy fame falls short of this that I have seen:
The half was not told.
Weighing that wealth of wisdom and of gold:
“Thy fame falls short of this that I have seen:
The half was not told.
“Happy thy servants who stand to behold,
Stand to drink in thy gracious speech and mien;
Happy, thrice happy, the flock of thy fold.
Stand to drink in thy gracious speech and mien;
Happy, thrice happy, the flock of thy fold.
“As the darkened moon while a shadow between
Her face and her kindling sun is rolled,
I depart; but my heart keeps memory green:
The half was not told.”
Her face and her kindling sun is rolled,
I depart; but my heart keeps memory green:
The half was not told.”
