Allah gives light in darkness, <br />Allah gives rest in pain, <br />Cheeks that are white with weeping <br />Allah paints red again. <br /> <br />The flowers and the blossoms wither, <br />Years vanish with flying fleet; <br />But my heart will live on forever, <br />That here in sadness beat. <br /> <br />Gladly to Allah's dwelling <br />Yonder would I take flight; <br />There will the darkness vanish, <br />There will my eyes have sight.<br /><br />Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/allah-from-the-german-of-mahlmann/
