85 Armenian Legends and Poems THE LAKE OF VAN By RAFFI Unutterable silence here is spread On every hand, and Nature might be dead. A lonely exile, here I sit and weep. And far above, bright Moon, I see thee sweep. From Earth's creation till the skies shall parch And she dissolve, thou circlest Heaven's high arch Saw'st thou the laurels on Armenia's brows' And dost behold her hopeless sorrows now 5* Mournful as I ! I wonder dost thou see How she is ground by heels of tyranny ! And do thine eyes ...with bitter tear-drops smart When barbed arrows pierce her through the heart Thy heart is stone, thy pity stark and cold. For fields of innocent blood thou dost behold Without a word, and o'er Armenia's land Thy nightly compass of the dome hast spanned With all the brightness that was thine of old. O Lake, make answer ! Why be silent more i Wilt not lament with one whose heart is sores' And you, ye Zephyrs, hurl the waters high That I may feed them from a mourner's eye I 86 The Lake of Van ** Cleanse from thy lute the rust that soils its string ; Hasten thee back, and, as thou goest, sing Such gladsome lays as yet may re-inspire Hearts that are dead with ever tameless fire.
