If I thought-but no, it cannot be- <br>Thou art so swift, yet easy curbed; so gentle, yet so free. <br>And yet, if haply when thou'rt gone, my lonely heart should yearn- <br>Can the hand which casts thee from it now, command thee to return? </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Return! -alas! my Arab steed! what shall thy master do, <br>When thou who wert his all of joy, hast vanished from his view? <br>When the dim distance cheats mine eye, and through the gath'ring tears <br>Thy bright form, for a moment, like the false mirâge appears. <br>Slow and unmounted will I roam, with weary foot alone, <br>Where with fleet step, and joyous bound, thou oft hast borne me on; <br>And, sitting down by that green well, I'll pause and sadly think, <br>'It was here he bowed his glossy neck, when last I saw him drink! ' </div><div style="margin:10px 0">When last I saw thee drink! -away! the fevered dream is o'er- <br>I could not live a day, and know, that we should meet no more! <br>They tempted me, my beautiful! for hunger's power is strong- <br>They tempted me, my beautiful! but I have loved too long. <br>Who said that I had given thee up? Who said that thou wert sold? <br>'Tis false-'tis false, my Arab steed! I fling them back their gold! <br>Thus, thus, I leap upon thy back, and scour the distant plains; <br>Away! who overtakes us now, shall claim thee for his pains!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Caroline+Elizabeth+Sarah+Norton">Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=353983" data-title="The Arab's Farewell To His Horse de Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton" data-description="MY beautiful! my beautiful! that standest meekly by With thy proudly arched and glossy neck, and dark and fiery eye; Fret not to roam the desert now, with all thy winged speed- I may not mount on thee again-thou'rt sold, my Arab steed!
