Poem by Thomas Moore

From “The Odes of Anacreon”. Ode 27

We read the flying courser's name
Upon his side, in marks of flame;
And, by their turbaned brows alone,
The warriors of the East are known.
But in the lover's glowing eyes,
The inlet to his bosom lies;
Through them we see the small faint mark,
Where Love has dropt his burning spark!

1. Oft, When the Watching Stars Grow Pale
2. To-Day, Dearest! Is Ours
3. From “The Odes of Anacreon”. Ode 45
4. From “The Odes of Anacreon”. Ode 38
5. From “The Odes of Anacreon”. Ode 69
