Fair was the evening and brightly the sun	A
Was shining on desert and grove	B
Sweet were the breezes and balmy the flowers	C
And cloudless the heavens above	D
It was Arabia's distant land	E
And peaceful was the hour	F
Two youthful figures lay reclined	G
Deep in a shady bower	F
	-
One was a boy of just fourteen	H
Bold beautiful and bright	I
Soft raven curls hung clustering round	J
A brow of marble white	I
	-
The fair brow and ruddy cheek	K
Spoke of less burning skies	L
Words cannot paint the look that beamed	M
In his dark lustrous eyes	L
	-
The other was a slender girl	N
Blooming and young and fair	O
The snowy neck was shaded with	P
The long bright sunny hair	O
	-
And those deep eyes of watery blue	Q
So sweetly sad they seemed	M
And every feature in her face	R
With pensive sorrow teemed	M
	-
The youth beheld her saddened air	O
And smiling cheerfully	S
He said 'How pleasant is the land	M
Of sunny Araby	T
	-
'Zenobia I never saw	U
A lovelier eve than this	V
I never felt my spirit raised	M
With more unbroken bliss	V
	-
'So deep the shades so calm the hour	F
So soft the breezes sigh	W
So sweetly Philomel begins	X
Her heavenly melody	S
	-
'So pleasant are the scents that rise	L
From flowers of loveliest hue	Q
And more than all Zenobia	T
I am alone with you	Q
	-
Are we not happy here alone	Y
In such a healthy spot '	-
He looked to her with joyful smile	Z
But she returned it not	M
	-
'Why are you sorrowful ' he asked	M
And heaved a bitter sigh	W
'O tell me why those drops of woe	A2
Are gathering in your eye '	-
	-
'Gladly would I rejoice ' she said	M
'But grief weighs down my heart	M
'Can I be happy when I know	A2
Tomorrow we must part	M
	-
'Yes Alexander I must see	S
This happy land no more	B2
At break of day I must return	C2
To distant Gondal's shore	B2
	-
'At morning we must bid farewell	D2
And at the close of day	M
You will be wandering alone	Y
And I shall be away	M
	-
'I shall be sorrowing for you	Q
On the wide weltering sea	S
And you will perhaps have wandered here	E2
To sit and think of me '	-
	-
'And shall we part so soon ' he cried	M
'Must we be torn away	M
Shall I be left to mourn alone	Y
Will you no longer stay	M
	-
'And shall we never meet again	F2
Hearts that have grown together	F
Must they at once be rent away	M
And kept apart for ever '	-
	-
'Yes Alexander we must part	M
But we may meet again	F2
For when I left my native land	M
I wept in anguish then	F2
	-
'Never shall I forget the day	M
I left its rocky shore	B2
We thought that we had bid adieu	Q
To meet on earth no more	B2
	-
'When we had parted how I wept	M
To see the mountains blue	Q
Grow dimmer and more distant till	G2
They faded from my view	Q
	-
'And you too wept we little thought	M
After so long a time	H2
To meet again so suddenly	S
In such a distant clime	H2
	-
'We met on Grecia's classic plain	I2
We part in Araby	T
And let us hope to meet again	F2
Beneath our Gondal's sky '	-
	-
'Zenobia do you remember	F
A little lonely spring	J2
Among Exina's woody hills	K2
Where blackbirds used to sing	J2
	-
'And when they ceased as daylight faded	M
From the dusky sky	W
The pensive nightingale began	L2
Her matchless melody	S
	-
'Sweet bluebells used to flourish there	O
And tall trees waved on high	W
And through their ever sounding leaves	M2
The soft wind used to sigh	W
	-
'At morning we have often played	M
Beside that lonely well	D2
At evening we have lingered there	O
Till dewy twilight fell	D2
	-
'And when your fifteenth birthday comes	N2
Remember me my love	D
And think of what I said to you	Q
In this sweet spicy grove	B
	-
'At evening wander to that spring	J2
And sit and wait for me	S
And 'ere the sun has ceased to shine	O2
I will return to thee	S
	-
'Two years is a weary time	H2
But it will soon be fled	M
And if you do not meet me know	A2
I am not false but dead '	-
	-
	-
	-
Sweetly the summer day declines	P2
On forest plain and hill	G2
And in that spacious palace hall	Q2
So lonely wide and still	G2
	-
Beside a window's open arch	R2
In the calm evening air	O
All lonely sits a stately girl	N
Graceful and young and fair	O
	-
The snowy lid and lashes long	S2
Conceal her downcast eye	W
She's reading and till now I have	T2
Passed unnoticed by	W
	-
But see she cannot fix her thoughts	U2
They are wandering away	M
She looks towards a distant dell	D2
Where sunny waters play	M
	-
And yet her spirit is not with	P
The scene she looks upon	V2
She muses with a mournful smile	Z
On pleasures that are gone	W2
	-
She looks upon the book again	F2
That chained her thoughts before	B2
And for a moment strives in vain	I2
To fix her mind once more	B2
	-
Then gently drops it on her knee	S
And looks into the sky	W
While trembling drops are shining in	X2
Her dark celestial eye	W
And thus alone and still she sits	Y2
Musing on years gone by	W
	-
Till with a sad and sudden smile	Z
She rises up to go	A2
And from the open window springs	Z2
On to the grass below	A2
	-
Why does she fly so swiftly now	A3
Adown the meadow green	H
And o'er the gently swelling hills	K2
And the vale that lies between	H
	-
She passes under giant trees	B3
That lift their arms on high	W
And slowly wave their mighty boughs	C3
In the clear evening sky	W
	-
And now she threads a path that winds	D3
Through deeply shaded groves	E3
Where nought is heard but sighing gales	F3
And murmuring turtle doves	G3
	-
She hastens on through sunless gloom	H2
To a vista opening wide	M
A marble fountain sparkles there	O
With sweet flowers by its side	M
	-
At intervals in the velvet grass	H3
A few old elm trees rise	L
While a warm flood of yellow light	M
Streams from the western skies	L
	-
Is this her resting place Ah no	A2
She hastens onward still	G2
The startled deer before her fly	W
As she ascends the hill	G2
	-
She does not rest till she has gained	M
A lonely purling spring	J2
Where zephyrs wave the verdant trees	B3
And birds in concert sing	J2
	-
And there she stands and gazes round	M
With bright and searching eye	W
Then sadly sighing turns away	M
And looks upon the sky	W
	-
She sits down on the flowery turf	I3
Her head drooped on her hand	M
Her soft luxuriant golden curls	J3
Are by the breezes fanned	M
	-
A sweet sad smile plays on her lips	K3
Her heart is far away	M
And thus she sits till twilight comes	N2
To take the place of day	M
	-
But when she looks towards the west	M
And sees the sun is gone	W2
And hears that every bird but one	A
To its nightly rest is flown	Y
	-
And sees that over nature's face	R
A sombre veil is cast	M
With mournful voice and tearful eye	W
She says 'The time is past	M
	-
'He will not come I might have known	Y
It was a foolish hope	L3
But it was so sweet to cherish	M3
I could not yield it up	N3
	-
'It may be foolish thus to weep	O3
But I cannot check my tears	P3
To see in one short hour destroyed	M
The darling hope of years	Q3
	-
'He is not false but he was young	R3
And time rolls fast away	M
Has he forgotten the vow he made	M
To meet me here today	M
	-
'No If he lives he loves me still	G2
And still remembers me	S
If he is dead my joys are sunk	S3
In utter misery	S
	-
'We parted in the spicy groves	E3
Beneath Arabia's sky	W
How could I hope to meet him now	A3
Where Gondal's breezes sigh	W
	-
'He was a shining meteor light	M
That faded from the skies	L
But I mistook him for a star	T3
That only set to rise	L
	-
'And with a firm yet trembling hand	M
