To Aziz Song Of Mahomed Akram

A poem by Violet Nicolson, Lawrence Hope, Adela Florence Cory Nicolson (1865 – 1904)

Your beauty puts a barb into my soul,

Strive as I will it never lets me go.

My love has passed the frontiers of control,

You are so fair and I desire you so.

Others may come and go, they are to me

But changing mirage, transient, untrue,

My faithlessness is but fidelity

Since I am never faithful, but to you.

You are not kind to me, but many are

And all their kindness does not make them dear;

It may be you deceive me when afar

Even as always you torment me near.

Yet is your beauty so divine a thing,

So irreplaceable, so haunting sweet

Against all reason, I am fain to fling

My life, my youth, myself beneath your feet.
