Adam Bernard Mickiewicz Shine Poems
- 1. The Graves Of The Harem
They sleep well here whom Allah loved and kept
And treasured in his vineyard fair and fine,
Most lustrous of the Orient pearls that shine,
Which youth found where the waves of passion swept.
... - 2. The Pass Across The Abyss In The Tschufut-kale
(Mirza)
Pray! Pray! Let loose the bridle. Look not down!
The humble horse alone has wisdom here.
... - 3. The Grave Of Countess Potocka
In Spring of love and life, My Polish Rose,
You faded and forgot the joy of youth;
Bright butterfly, it brushed you, then left ruth
Of bitter memory that stings and glows.
