Omar within thy scented garden close	A
When passed with eventide	B
The starward incense of the waning rose	C
Too precious to abide	B
After the glad and golden death of spring	D
Omar thou heardest then	E
Above the world of men	E
The mournful rumor of an iron wing	D
The sough and sigh of desolating years	F
Whereof the wind is as the winds that blow	G
Out of a lonesome land of night and snow	G
Where timeless winter weeps with frozen tears	H
And in thy bodeful ears	F
The brief and tiny lisp	I
Of petals curled and crisp	I
Fallen at eve in Persia's mellow clime	J
Was mingled with the mighty sound of time	J
	-
Omar thou knewest well	K
How the fair days are sorrowful and strange	L
With time's inexorable mystery	M
And terror ineluctable of change	L
Upon thine eyes the bleak and bitter spell	K
Of vision thou didst see	M
As in a magic glass	N
The moulded mists and painted shadows pass	N
The ghostly pomps we name reality	M
And lo the level field	B
With broken fane and throne	O
And dust of old unfabled cities sown	O
In unremembering years was made to yield	B
From out the shards of Power	P
The pillars frail and small	Q
That lift for capital	R
The blood like bubble of the poppy flower	P
And crowns were crumbled for the airy gold	B
The crocus and the daffodil should hold	B
As inalienable dower	S
Before thy gaze the sad unvaried green	T
The cypresses like robes funereal wear	U
Was woven on the gradual looms of air	U
From threadbare silk and tattered sendaline	T
That clothed some ancient queen	T
And from the spoilt vermilion of her mouth	V
The myrtles rose and from her ruined hair	U
And eyes that held the summer's ardent drouth	V
In blown disrooted bowers	W
And amber limbs and breast	B
Through ancient nights by sleepless love oppressed	B
Or by the iron flight of loveless hours	W
	-
Knowing the weary wisdom of the years	F
The empty truth of tears	H
The suns of June that with some great excess	X
Of ardor slay the unabiding rose	C
And grey haired winter wan and fervorless	C
For whom no flower grows	C
Seeing the paradisal bloom that pales	C
On orient snows untrod	B
In magic morns that grant	B
Across a land of common green and grey	Y
The disenchanted day	Y
Knowing the gulf deep veils	C
And walls of adamant	B
That ward the darkling verities of God	B
Knowing these things ah surely thou wert wise	C
To kiss on ardent breast and avid mouth	V
Some girl whose eyes	C
Were golden with the sun belov d south	V
To pluck the rose and drain the rose red wine	T
In gardens half divine	T
Before the broken cup	Z
Be filled and covered up	Z
In dusty seas of everlasting drouth	V
