A UNE MALABARAISE
Tes pieds sont aussi fins que tes mains, et ta hanche
Est large a faire envie a la plus belle blanche;
A l'artiste pensif ton corps est doux et cher;
Tes grands yeux de velours sont plus noirs que ta chair
Aux pays chauds et bleus ou ton Dieu t'a fait naitre,
Ta tache est d'allumer la pipe de ton maitre,
De
pourvoir
les flacons d'eaux fraiches et d'odeurs,
De chasser loin du lit les moustiques rodeurs,
Et, des que le matin fait chanter les platanes,
D'acheter au bazar ananas et bananes.

At the many star-isles

Where wild flowers, creeping,

On its margin is sleeping
Full many a maid--

_Evening Primrose_
When once the sun sinks in the west,
And dew-drops pearl the evening's breast;
Almost as pale as moonbeams are,
Or its companionable star,
The evening
primrose
opes anew
Its delicate blossoms to the dew;
And, shunning-hermit of the light,
Wastes its fair bloom upon the night;
Who, blindfold to its fond caresses,
Knows not the beauty he possesses.

Where you hold me enchained a certain time, refusing to give me up,
Yet giving to make me glutted, enriched of soul--you give me for ever

closed doors, he was suspected of treason rather than of toasting,
which he often did with much humour, the charms of woman; even when he
gave as a sentiment, "May our success be equal to the justice of our
cause," he was liable to be challenged by some gunpowder captain, who
thought that we deserved success in war, whether right or wrong.

Pushkin - Queen of Spades |

And Love still whispers, with
prophetic
tongue,--
"Long as on earth is seen that glittering brow,
Shall life have charms: but she shall cease to glow
And with her all my power shall fleet along,
Should Nature from the skies their twin-lights wrest;
Hush every breeze, each herb and flower destroy;
Strip man of reason--speech; from Ocean's breast
His tides, his tenants chase--such, earth's annoy;
Yea, still more darken'd were it and unblest,
Had she, thy Laura, closed her eyes to love and joy.

I know, I know I should not see
The season's
glorious
show,
Nor would its brightness shine for me;
Nor its wild music flow;
But if, around my place of sleep,
The friends I love should come to weep,
They might not haste to go.
