Kashmiri Song by Juma

Topics: classic

You never loved me, and yet to save me,     One unforgetable night you gave me     Such chill embraces as the snow-covered heights     Receive from clouds, in northern, Auroral nights.     Such keen communion as the frozen mere     Has with immaculate moonlight, cold and clear.     And all desire,     Like failing fire,     Died slowly, faded surely, and sank to rest     Against the delicate chillness of your breast.
