’Tis where those we love abide,

And that little spot is best

Which the loved one’s foot hath pressed.

Though it be a fairy space,

Wide and spreading is the place;

Though ’twere but a barren mound,

’Twould become enchanted ground;

With thee, yon sandy waste would seem

The margin of Al-Cawthar’s stream;

And thou canst make a dungeon’s gloom
