Slaves Of Thy Shining Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDC EFEGHIIH JKJLMGGM IBINOGGO| SLAVES of thy shining eyes are even those | A |
| That diadems of might and empire bear | B |
| Drunk with the wine that from thy red lip flows | A |
| Are they that e'en the grape's delight forswear | B |
| Drift like the wind across a violet bed | C |
| Before thy many lovers weeping low | D |
| And clad like violets in blue robes of woe | D |
| Who feel thy wind blown hair and bow the head | C |
| - | |
| Thy messenger the breath of dawn and mine | E |
| A stream of tears since lover and beloved | F |
| Keep not their secret through my verses shine | E |
| Though other lays my flower's grace have proved | G |
| And countless nightingales have sung thy praise | H |
| When veiled beneath thy curls thou passest see | I |
| To right and leftward those that welcome thee | I |
| Have bartered peace and rest on thee to gaze | H |
| - | |
| But thou that knowest God by heart away | J |
| Wine drunk love drunk we inherit Paradise | K |
| His mercy is for sinners hence and pray | J |
| Where wine thy cheek red as red erghwan dyes | L |
| And leave the cell to faces sinister | M |
| Oh Khizr whose happy feet bathed in life's fount | G |
| Help one who toils afoot the horsemen mount | G |
| And hasten on their way I scarce can stir | M |
| - | |
| Ah loose me not ah set not Hafiz free | I |
| From out the bondage of thy gleaming hair | B |
| Safe only those safe and at liberty | I |
| That fast enchained in thy linked ringlets are | N |
| But from the image of his dusty cheek | O |
| Learn this from Hafiz proudest heads shall bend | G |
| And dwellers on the threshold of a friend | G |
| Be crown d with the dust that crowns the meek | O |
