And a much bigger loan, as thou knowest, Thou'lt have to be raising next year ! THE TURKS. (From the German ok Lessing. ) The Turks, they say, have lovely daughters. As virtuous as they're fair to see ; One man is free to marry many — A Turk's life is the life for me ! How would my soul to love surrender ! How would my days in loving flee ! But — Wine to Turks is drink forbidden — A Turk's life ne'er would do for me. 1876. 152 /• ^-- Kelly's Poems. " TANGI " ON THE DEATH OF A CHIEF. (From the M...aori. ) Behold the lightning's vivid glare, As flashing, spearlike, through the air It seems to cut asunder Tuvvhara's rugged mountain high. While rolling through the troubled sky Loud roars the echoing thunder ! The tides of ocean, as they ebb and flow, Weep tears of bitter woe ; The Sun grows pale, and hastes away, As flies a vv'oman from the field of fight ; The mountains of the South dissolve in grief, For now the spirit of the mighty chief To Kona takes its flight ! Strong wert thou on the battlefield ; Well did thine arm the war-club wield On many a bloody day ; But, from the hand that did so well.
