ARABY'S DAUGHTER 
Farewell, farewell In thee, Araby's daughter! (Thus Warbled a Peri beneath the dark sea:) No pearl ever lay under Oman's green water. More pure in its shell than thy spirit in thee. Around thee shall glisten the loveliest amber. That ever the sorrowing and-Mid has wept; With many a shell, in whose hollow wreathed chamber. The Peris of ocean by moonlight have slept. 
Nor shall Iran beloved of her hero forget thee, Though tyrants watch over her tears as they start; Close, close by the side of that hero she'll set thee, Enbalmed in the innermost shrine of her heart. Around thee shall glisten the loveliest amber, That ever the sorrowing sea-bird has wept; 'With many a shell, in whose hollow wreathed chamber, The Peris of ocean by moonlight have slept.
