Excerpt from The Captive SingerI'll sing thee songs of araby"I'll sing thee songs of ArabyAnd tales of fair Cashmere,Wild tales to cheat thee of a sigh,Or charm thee to a tear.And dreams of delight shall on thee break,And rainbow visions rise,And all my soul shall strive to wakeSweet wonder in thine eyes;And all my soul shall strive to wakeSweet wonder in thine eyes.Through those twin lakes, when wonder wakes,My raptured song shall sink;And, as the diver dives for pearls,Bring tears, bright tears to their brink.And dreams of delight shall on thee break,And rainbow visions rise,And all my soul shall strive to wakeSweet wonder in thine eyes;And all my soul shall strive to wakeSweet wonder in thine eyes.To cheat thee of a sigh,Or charm thee to a tear!"About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
