ZEYD'S VISION

His grief and mourning Zeyd renewed alway,

From bitter wailing ceased he not, he wept aye.

That faithful, loving, ever-constant friend dear.

One night, when was the rise of the True Dawn near,

Feeling that in his wasted frame no strength stayed,

Had gone, and down upon that grave himself laid.

There, in his sleep, he saw a wondrous fair sight,

A lovely garden, and two beauties, moon-bright;

Through transport rapturous, their cheeks with light glow;
