Trees in groves	A
Kine in droves	A
In ocean sport the scaly herds	B
Wedge like cleave the air the birds	B
To northern lakes fly wind borne ducks	C
Browse the mountain sheep in flocks	D
Men consort in camp and town	E
But the poet dwells alone	F
	-
God who gave to him the lyre	G
Of all mortals the desire	H
For all breathing men's behoof	I
Straitly charged him Sit aloof	I
Annexed a warning poets say	J
To the bright premium	K
Ever when twain together play	J
Shall the harp be dumb	K
Many may come	K
But one shall sing	L
Two touch the string	L
The harp is dumb	K
Though there come a million	M
Wise Saadi dwells alone	F
	-
Yet Saadi loved the race of men	N
No churl immured in cave or den	N
In bower and hall	O
He wants them all	O
Nor can dispense	P
With Persia for his audience	Q
They must give ear	R
Grow red with joy and white with fear	S
Yet he has no companion	M
Come ten or come a million	M
Good Saadi dwells alone	F
	-
Be thou ware where Saadi dwells	T
Gladly round that golden lamp	U
Sylvan deities encamp	U
And simple maids and noble youth	V
Are welcome to the man of truth	V
Most welcome they who need him most	W
They feed the spring which they exhaust	X
For greater need	Y
Draws better deed	Y
But critic spare thy vanity	Z
Nor show thy pompous parts	A2
To vex with odious subtlety	Z
The cheerer of men's hearts	A2
	-
Sad eyed Fakirs swiftly say	J
Endless dirges to decay	J
Never in the blaze of light	B2
Lose the shudder of midnight	B2
And at overflowing noon	C2
Hear wolves barking at the moon	C2
In the bower of dalliance sweet	D2
Hear the far Avenger's feet	D2
And shake before those awful Powers	E2
Who in their pride forgive not ours	E2
Thus the sad eyed Fakirs preach	F2
Bard when thee would Allah teach	F2
And lift thee to his holy mount	G2
He sends thee from his bitter fount	G2
Wormwood saying Go thy ways	H2
Drink not the Malaga of praise	H2
But do the deed thy fellows hate	G2
And compromise thy peaceful state	G2
Smite the white breasts which thee fed	G2
Stuff sharp thorns beneath the head	G2
Of them thou shouldst have comforted	G2
For out of woe and out of crime	I2
Draws the heart a lore sublime	I2
And yet it seemeth not to me	Z
That the high gods love tragedy	Z
For Saadi sat in the sun	M
And thanks was his contrition	M
For haircloth and for bloody whips	J2
Had active hands and smiling lips	J2
And yet his runes he rightly read	G2
And to his folk his message sped	G2
Sunshine in his heart transferred	G2
Lighted each transparent word	G2
And well could honoring Persia learn	K2
What Saadi wished to say	J
For Saadi's nightly stars did burn	K2
Brighter than Dschami's day	J
	-
Whispered the muse in Saadi's cot	G2
O gentle Saadi listen not	G2
Tempted by thy praise of wit	G2
Or by thirst and appetite	G2
For the talents not thine own	F
To sons of contradiction	M
Never sun of eastern morning	L
Follow falsehood follow scorning	L
Denounce who will who will deny	L2
And pile the hills to scale the sky	L2
Let theist atheist pantheist	G2
Define and wrangle how they list	G2
Fierce conserver fierce destroyer	H
But thou joy giver and enjoyer	H
Unknowing war unknowing crime	I2
Gentle Saadi mind thy rhyme	I2
Heed not what the brawlers say	J
Heed thou only Saadi's lay	J
	-
Let the great world bustle on	M2
With war and trade with camp and town	E
A thousand men shall dig and eat	G2
At forge and furnace thousands sweat	G2
And thousands sail the purple sea	Z
And give or take the stroke of war	H
Or crowd the market and bazaar	H
Oft shall war end and peace return	K2
And cities rise where cities burn	K2
Ere one man my hill shall climb	I2
Who can turn the golden rhyme	I2
Let them manage how they may	J
Heed thou only Saadi's lay	J
Seek the living among the dead	G2
Man in man is imprisoned	G2
Barefooted Dervish is not poor	H
If fate unlock his bosom's door	H
So that what his eye hath seen	N2
His tongue can paint as bright as keen	N2
And what his tender heart hath felt	G2
With equal fire thy heart shall melt	G2
For whom the muses shine upon	M2
And touch with soft persuasion	M
His words like a storm wind can bring	L
Terror and beauty on their wing	L
In his every syllable	O2
Lurketh nature veritable	O2
And though he speak in midnight dark	L
In heaven no star on earth no spark	L
Yet before the listener's eye	L2
Swims the world in ecstasy	Z
The forest waves the morning breaks	P2
The pastures sleep ripple the lakes	P2
Leaves twinkle flowers like persons be	Z
And life pulsates in rock or tree	Z
Saadi so far thy words shall reach	F2
Suns rise and set in Saadi's speech	F2
	-
And thus to Saadi said the muse	Q2
Eat thou the bread which men refuse	Q2
Flee from the goods which from thee flee	Z
Seek nothing Fortune seeketh thee	Z
Nor mount nor dive all good things keep	R2
The midway of the eternal deep	R2
Wish not to fill the isles with eyes	S2
To fetch thee birds of paradise	T2
On thine orchard's edge belong	L
All the brass of plume and song	L
Wise Ali's sunbright sayings pass	U2
For proverbs in the market place	V2
Through mountains bored by regal art	G2
Toil whistles as he drives his cart	G2
Nor scour the seas nor sift mankind	G2
A poet or a friend to find	G2
Behold he watches at the door	H
Behold his shadow on the floor	H
Open innumerable doors	W2
The heaven where unveiled Allah pours	W2
The flood of truth the flood of good	G2
The seraph's and the cherub's food	G2
Those doors are men the pariah kind	G2
Admits thee to the perfect Mind	G2
Seek not beyond thy cottage wall	O
Redeemer that can yield thee all	O
While thou sittest at thy door	H
On the desert's yellow floor	H
Listening to the gray haired crones	W2
Foolish gossips ancient drones	W2
Saadi see they rise in stature	H
To the height of mighty nature	H
And the secret stands revealed	G2
Fraudulent Time in vain concealed	G2
That blessed gods in servile masks	W2
Plied for thee thy household tasks	W2
