Arabian Poetry · 1 passage
LIKE sheep, we're doomed to travel o’er The fated track to all assigned; These follow those that went before, And leave the world to those behind. As the flock seeks the pasturing shade, Man presses to the future day; While Death, amidst the tufted glade, Like the dun robber, * waits his prey. 134:* i.e.—The Wolf.
