lirik lagu richard mitchley - the nizam's daughter - letitia elizabeth landon

she is yet a child in years
twelve springs are on her face
yet in her slender form appears
the woman’s perfect grace
her silken hair, that glossy black
but only to be found
there, or upon the raven’s back
falls sweeping to the ground

’tis parted in two shining braids
with silver and with gold
and one large pearl by contrast aids
the darkness of each fold
and for she is so young, that flowers
seem natural to her now
there wreaths the champac’s snowy showers
around her sculptured brow

close to her throat the silvery vest
by shining clasps is bound
scarce may her graceful shape be guest
mid drapery floating round
but the small curve of that veined throat
like marble, but more warm
the fairy foot and hand denote
how perfect is the form
upon the ankle and the wrist
there is a band of gold
no step by grecian fountain kiss’d
was of diviner mould
in the bright girdle round her waist
where the red rubies shine
the kandjar’s glittering hilt is placed
to mark her royal line

her face is like the moonlight pale
strangely and purely fair
for never summer sun nor gale
has touched the softness there
there are no colours of the rose
alone the lip is red;
no blush disturbs the sweet repose
which o’er that cheek is shed

and yet the large black eyes, like night
have passion and have power;
within their sleepy depths is light
for some wild wakening hour
a world of sad and tender dreams
‘neath those long lashes sleep
a native pensiveness that seems
too still and sweet to weep
of such seclusion know we nought:
yet surely woman here
grows shrouded from all common thought
more delicate and dear
and love, thus made a thing apart
must seem the more divine
when the sweet temple of the heart
is a thrice~veiled shrine
