Ch 02 The Morals Of Dervishes Story 27 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDEDFGHIJIK| It once happened that on a journey to the Hejaz a company of young and pious men whose sentiments harmonized with mine were my fellow travellers They occasionally sung and recited spiritual verses but we had with us also an a bid who entertained a bad opinion of the behaviour of the dervishes and was ignorant of their sufferings When we reached the palm grove of the Beni Hallal a black boy of the encampment falling into a state of excitement broke out in a strain which brought down the birds from the sky I saw however the camel of the a bid which began to prance throwing him and running into the desert | A |
| - | |
| Knowest thou what that matutinal bulbul said to me | B |
| What man art thou to be ignorant of love | C |
| The Arabic verses threw a camel into ecstasy and joy | D |
| If thou hast no taste thou art an ill natured brute | E |
| When a camel s head is turned by the frenzy of joy | D |
| And a man does not feel it he must be an ass | F |
| When the winds blow over the plain | G |
| The branches of the ban tree bend not hard rocks | H |
| Whatever thou beholdest chants his praises | I |
| He knows this who has the true perception | J |
| Not only the bulbul on the rosebush sings praises | I |
| But every bramble is a tongue extolling him | K |
