From The Garden Of Heaven Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDC EFEFGHG IJIJKLK MNMO| FROM the garden of Heaven a western breeze | A |
| Blows through the leaves of my garden of earth | B |
| With a love like a huri I'ld take mine ease | A |
| And wine bring me wine the giver of mirth | B |
| To day the beggar may boast him a king | C |
| His banqueting hall is the ripening field | D |
| And his tent the shadow that soft clouds fling | C |
| - | |
| A tale of April the meadows unfold | E |
| Ah foolish for future credit to slave | F |
| And to leave the cash of the present untold | E |
| Build a fort with wine where thy heart may brave | F |
| The assault of the world when thy fortress falls | G |
| The relentless victor shall knead from thy dust | H |
| The bricks that repair its crumbling walls | G |
| - | |
| Trust not the word of that foe in the fight | I |
| Shall the lamp of the synagogue lend its flame | J |
| To set thy monastic torches alight | I |
| Drunken am I yet place not my name | J |
| In the Book of Doom nor pass judgment on it | K |
| Who knows what the secret finger of Fate | L |
| Upon his own white forehead has writ | K |
| - | |
| And when the spirit of Hafiz has fled | M |
| Follow his bier with a tribute of sighs | N |
| Though the ocean of sin has closed o'er his head | M |
| He may find a place in God's Paradise | O |
