Will the sun forget to streak
Language: English
Available translation(s): GER
Will the sun forget to streak Eastern skies with amber ray, When the dusky shades to break He unbars the gates of day? Then demand if Sheba's queen E'er can banish from her thought All the splendour she has seen, All the knowledge thou hast taught.
