THE BAYADERE.

AN INDIAN TALE.

---

["THE BAYADERE" was taken from some faint recollection
of a tale I had either read or heard; and meeting with the word
"Bayadere" many years after recalled it to my memory as a
subject exquisitely poetical. I have been since told it was a
poem of Goëthe's. This poem has never been to my knowledge
translated; and, being ignorant of the German language, I am
unable to say whether the tale conforms to the original or not.]
