ORIGINAL POETRY. 
ZULEIKA AND HER GAZELLE. 
BY H. W. MONTAGU. 
[ Derived, in part, from some lines said to have been 
composed by a daughter of the present Shah of 
Persia, in the Palace Gardens, near Teheran, in 
1828. ] 
I 
Lire is indeed a wild of woe, 
Though poets fain would find 
Some trace of Adan’s* thrill below, 
To soothe the wearied mind; 
Which seeks in vain, 
Through tears of pain, 
A bright light from above, 
Until is wean’d our mortal love 
From dreams of earth,—and then we see 
The dawning of felicity. 
IM 
Bring me the flowers which Hafiz bound 
Fair on his dazzling brow,— 
And I will twine their sweets around 
Thy forehead, with a vow, 
* Or Aden: Jannat Aden—the Garden of Para- 
dise ;—also, Jannat al Ferdaws.
