sun who scatter'd into flight Before the
phantom of false morning died Now the new year
reviving old desires Irám indeed is gone
with all his rose Come, fill the cup, and in the
fire of spring Whether at Naishapur or Babylon
Ah, not a drop that from our cups we throw I sometimes think that never blows so red A
book of verses underneath the bough Myself when
young did eagerly frequent Ah, make the most of
what we yet may spend When you and I behind the
veil are past But if the soul can fling the dust
aside I sent my soul through the invisible Alas! that spring should vanish with the rose! The worldly hope men set their hearts upon
Each morn a thousand roses brings, you say They
say the lion and the lizard keep Ah, fill the
cup! what boots it to repeat Ah, moon of my
delight, that knows no wane As then the tulip
for her morning sup Alas! that spring should
vanish with the rose!
