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 band
Who minister around that highest throne—
Thy godlike heart. And there I reign supreme,
And choose, at will, the angel who I deem
Will 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!"
