VIII.
Ah ! had she never lov'd — had passion's beams Touch'd not her youthful bosom, save in dreams, — Or were she one whose faith could ill withstand The flatt'ring favours of a royal hand. Haply she might not weep ; but feel that fate Had nobly rais'd her from her lowly state.
But no ! — for not the few forbidden fires — The magian worship of her ancient sires — Are kept more holy in their secret fanes. Than the pure, love-lit flame, her heart contains. Torn from her home, her young aifectiou...s found No spot to bloom in, nought to cling around ; 72 SELIM.
And long they slumber'd in that lonely breast, Till sudd'nly came fair love, its first, bright guest ; Came like the streamlet to the desert's sand, And made her feelings' richest flowers expand.
To him — th' ador'd — that love entire was given, Unshar'd by kindred — those fond ties were riven, — And in her heart 'twas fix'd — there firmly stays, The sole, bright object of her constant gaze : Stands like a single palm 'mid plains all bare.
