Bold Souls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDCCEEFFGGHHIIII J| O nightingale Bewail if my love thou desire | A |
| For we are weeping lovers yet tear is our task dire | B |
| Where bloweth a perfumed breeze from the Friend's hair | C |
| The Tartary musk pods lose the aroma once so rare | C |
| Give wine so we may the robe of hypocrisy dye | D |
| For we are intoxicated with pride yet sober are we aye | D |
| To devise a fancy for Thy tress fools do not care | C |
| To get into the chains of love is what the bold souls dare | C |
| 'Tis a deep charm which wakes the lover's flame | E |
| Not ruby lip nor verdant down its name | E |
| Beauty is not the eye lock cheek and mole | F |
| A thousand subtle points the heart control | F |
| The wayfarers purchase not for half a corn | G |
| The satin coat that void of skill is born | G |
| Difficult it seemeth to reach the Threshold of Thy Love | H |
| Aye difficult as ascending to the rooftop of the heaven above | H |
| At dawn in a dream to the abode of the Beloved did I wend | I |
| Oh happy the dream in which one mayest see the Darling Friend | I |
| HAFIZ Wound not His heart with tears and end | I |
| For eternal salvation in love doth bend | I |
