THE LOVING ONE SPEAKS. <br /> <br />AND wherefore sends not <br />The horseman-captain <br />His heralds hither <br /> <br />Each day, unfailing? <br />Yet hath he horses, <br />He writes well. <br /> <br />He waiteth Tali, <br />And Neski knows he <br />To write with beauty <br />On silken tablets. <br />I'd deem him present, <br />Had I his words. <br /> <br />The sick One will not, <br />Will not recover <br />From her sweet sorrow; <br />She, when she heareth <br />That her true lover <br />Grows well, falls sick.<br /><br />Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/book-of-suleika-the-loving-one-speaks/
