The Bird Of Gardens Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDE FAGABBHIJJJJJJKLKLHH K M| The bird of gardens sang unto the rose | A |
| New blown in the clear dawn 'Bow down thy head | B |
| As fair as thou within this garden close | C |
| Many have bloomed and died ' She laughed and said | B |
| 'That I am born to fade grieves not my heart | D |
| But never was it a true lover's part | D |
| To vex with bitter words his love's repose ' | E |
| - | |
| The tavern step shall be thy hostelry | F |
| For Love's diviner breath comes but to those | A |
| That suppliant on the dusty threshold lie | G |
| And thou if thou would'st drink the wine that flows | A |
| From Life's bejewelled goblet ruby red | B |
| Upon thine eyelashes thine eyes shall thread | B |
| A thousand tears for this temerity | H |
| Last night when Irem's magic garden slept | I |
| Stirring the hyacinth's purple tresses curled | J |
| The wind of morning through the alleys stept | J |
| 'Where is thy cup the mirror of the world | J |
| Ah where is Love thou Throne of Djem ' I cried | J |
| The breezes knew not but 'Alas ' they sighed | J |
| 'That happiness should sleep so long ' and wept | J |
| Not on the lips of men Love's secret lies | K |
| Remote and unrevealed his dwelling place | L |
| Oh Saki come the idle laughter dies | K |
| When thou the feast with heavenly wine dost grace | L |
| Patience and wisdom Hafiz in a sea | H |
| Of thine own tears are drowned thy misery | H |
| They could not still nor hide from curious eyes | K |
