Nesim Bey
(? - ?) - Albania - Turkey
Poet
Nesim, also called Neçin, was a Turco-Albanian poet, of which we couldn't find any biographical data. The following is an example of his poetry devoted to a young man he loved:
Whate'er, my friend, or false or true,
The world may tell thee, give no ear,
For to separate us, dear,
The world will say that one is two.
Who should seek to separate us
May he never cease to weep.
The rain at times may cease; but he
In Summer's warmth or Winter's sleep
May he never cease to weep.
