William Makepeace Thackeray - The Rocks

William Makepeace Thackeray - The Rocks

I was a timid little antelope; br My home was in the rocks, the lonely rocks. br br I saw the hunters scouring on the plain; br I lived among the rocks, the lonely rocks. br br I was a-thirsty in the summer-heat; br I ventured to the tents beneath the rocks. br br Zuleikah brought me water from the well; br Since then I have been faithless to the rocks. br br I saw her face reflected in the well; br Her camels since have marched into the rocks. br br I look to see her image in the well; br I only see my eyes, my own sad eyes. br My mother is alone among the rocks.
