Death's anguish hath its hour, then endeth; but the pain Of sev'rance from the loved at heart is ever new. Could we but find a way to come at parting's self, We'd surely make it taste of parting's cup of rue. When he heard this, he gave one sob and his soul quitted his body.
'I sing of blooming flowers Made sweet by sun and rain; Of all the bliss of love's first kiss, And parting's cruel pain. 'Of the sad captive's longing Within his prison wall, Of hearts that sigh when none are nigh To answer to their call.

"The day of parting cut my heart in twain:* In twain may Allah cut the parting-day! And she spake also this couplet, "I pray some day that we reunion gain, * So may I tell him Parting's ugly way."

Kate cries, and Forrester storms. Well, must come comes at last.
Ah, woe's me for the lover's pain, unresting, passion-burnt, Him who in parting's bitter cup his lips perforce hath wet! His wit is ravished clean away by separation's woe, Fire in his heart and all consumed his entrails by its fret. Ah, what a dreadful day it was, when to her stead I came And that, which on the door was writ, my eyes confounded met!
When he entered, he saw her with hair dishevelled and dispread over the tomb, weeping and repeating these lines, "Indeed I'm strong to bear whate'er befal; * But weak to bear such parting's dire mischance: What heart estrangement of the friend can bear? * What strength withstand assault of severance?" Then sobs burst from her breast, and she recited also these couplets, "What's this?

'I am the daughter of Ibrahim, Vizier to King Shamikh, answered she; 'and the manner of my coming hither is strange and the cause thereof extraordinary. And she told him her whole story, hiding nought from him; then she sighed deeply and recited the following verses: Tears have mine eyelids wounded sore, and wonder-fast they flow Adown my cheek for parting's pain and memory and woe, For a beloved's sake, who dwells for ever in my heart, Though to foregather with himself I cannot win, heigho!
"I never knew you wanted love," she said softly. "I guess I didn't know it until just lately, either." "I suppose parting's always rather painful," she said with just the beginning of a little smile creeping round the corners of her lips.
