[5]-8, 1st series. - Wake! for the 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!
