WAY ia errors wilds astray,
Youth, aspiring, art thou found.
Why forsake the former way,
Tempting thus, forbidden ground?
Wears Mohammed's glittering crown,
Pageant, stand with guiltless blood,
Truer glories than have shone,
Shone around the Son of Gods
Beams the robes Of Moorish mail
Brighter than the Christians gem?
Lovelier glows the crescent pale,
Than the star of Bethlehem?
Youth, return! the Prophets shrine
Burns not with descended flame,
Youth the incense is not chine,

IN the contrite heart is seen
Treasures, known not to thy Heaven,
Yea, the tears of Magdalepe
Dim the charms to Houries given.
Songs OF mirth are thine-to me
Bearer is the music holy,
Such as lone Gethsemane
Breathes in tones ofmelancholy.
Blossoms Sharon's shady bower,
Fairer than thy sensual seat;
Softer rises Salem's tower,
Than Stamboul's proud minaret.

Where the imam beckons thee,
