ARMENIAN POEMS.
SONG.
How often in my life to find
Tranquillity I yearned!
Ever with visions infinite
My heart within me burned.
Tranquillity I yearned!
Ever with visions infinite
My heart within me burned.
The world will not afford this peace
For which I ask in vain;
My broken, wasted heart would not
With empty hope remain.
For which I ask in vain;
My broken, wasted heart would not
With empty hope remain.
I seek not the impossible—
One heart to which to cling,
One feeling heart, which to its mate
Would bring love’s glowing spring.
One heart to which to cling,
One feeling heart, which to its mate
Would bring love’s glowing spring.
