SULEIMA TO HER LOVER.
————FROM THE TURKISH.————
THOU reck'nest seven Heavens; I but one:And thou art it, Beloved! Voice and hand,And eye and mouth, are but the angel bandWho minister around that highest throne—Thy godlike heart. And there I reign supreme,And choose, at will, the angel who I deemWill sing the sweetest, words I love to hear—That short, sweet song, whose echo clear Will last throughout eternity:    "I love thee!    How I love thee!"
