| Why seek'st thou righteousness from us? To topers "Hither! Ho!" we say |
|
|
| We're gone, thou knowest and my heart That's eaten up with care |
|
|
| Place, save thy sill, for me beneath The firmament is not |
|
|
| Be't remembered that my dwelling Erst thy door anigh was |
|
|
| Away, companions, with the knots Of the Friend's tress make ye! |
|
|
| Heart, for thy running-footman Let favouring fate suffice! |
|
|
| Come, the cassock of the Soufi To the winehouse straight bear we |
|
|
| Of the love of her my heart the holy place is |
|
|
| Sawest thou, o heart, the havoc That Love's pain hath wrought? |
|
|
| Come the glad news is that the days Of woe will not abide for ever |
