LEBANON
IMMEMORIAL cedar groves;Valleys where the shepherd roves;Peaks of purple; cinnabarSlopes, and fields where poppies are,Each a little mimic sun,And at night the matchless starLeaning over Lebanon!
Vast horizons; shattered shrines;Terraces that verdant vines,Arbor linking arbor, drape,—Where the sleek skins of the grapeYield the ichor of the sun;Taste, and who would fain escapeOut of golden Lebanon?
Far above, its crest aglow,Hermon filleted with snow;Far below, the Tyrian sea,A great turquoise, dreamilyTurning topaz in the sun;Soul and sense you hold in fee,O alluring Lebanon!
descriptionPage 88
To have seen you, evermoreMeans to yearningly deploreLife where paler glories fretWith remembrance and regret;Ah, to linger where the sun,—Allah's shield exalted set,—Shines o'er lovely Lebanon!
