Drops Of His Heart's Blood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEE FGFGFHH IIIIIJJ KLML| THE nightingale with drops of his heart's blood | A |
| Had nourished the red rose then came a wind | B |
| And catching at the boughs in envious mood | C |
| A hundred thorns about his heart entwined | B |
| Like to the parrot crunching sugar good | D |
| Seemed the world to me who could not stay | E |
| The wind of Death that swept my hopes away | E |
| - | |
| Light of mine eyes and harvest of my heart | F |
| And mine at least in changeless memory | G |
| Ah when he found it easy to depart | F |
| He left the harder pilgrimage to me | G |
| Oh Camel driver though the cordage start | F |
| For God's sake help me lift my fallen load | H |
| And Pity be my comrade of the road | H |
| - | |
| My face is seamed with dust mine eyes are wet | I |
| Of dust and tears the turquoise firmament | I |
| Kneadeth the bricks for joy's abode and yet | I |
| Alas and weeping yet I make lament | I |
| Because the moon her jealous glances set | I |
| Upon the bow bent eyebrows of my moon | J |
| He sought a lodging in the grave too soon | J |
| - | |
| I had not castled and the time is gone | K |
| What shall I play Upon the chequered floor | L |
| Of Night and Day Death won the game forlorn | M |
| And careless now Hafiz can lose no more | L |
