The Rose Has Flushed Red Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBC AAAAAAA DEEDAEA AAAAFAF GAAG| The rose has flushed red the bud has burst | A |
| And drunk with joy is the nightingale | B |
| Hail Sufis lovers of wine all hail | B |
| For wine is proclaimed to a world athirst | A |
| Like a rock your repentance seemed to you | C |
| Behold the marvel of what avail | B |
| Was your rock for a goblet has cleft it in two | C |
| - | |
| Bring wine for the king and the slave at the gate | A |
| Alike for all is the banquet spread | A |
| And drunk and sober are warmed and fed | A |
| When the feast is done and the night grows late | A |
| And the second door of the tavern gapes wide | A |
| The low and the mighty must bow the head | A |
| 'Neath the archway of Life to meet what outside | A |
| - | |
| Except thy road through affliction pass | D |
| None may reach the halting station of mirth | E |
| God's treaty Am I not Lord of the earth | E |
| Man sealed with a sigh Ah yes alas | D |
| Nor with Is nor Is Not let thy mind contend | A |
| Rest assured all perfection of mortal birth | E |
| In the great Is Not at the last shall end | A |
| - | |
| For Assaf's pomp and the steeds of the wind | A |
| And the speech of birds down the wind have fled | A |
| And he that was lord of them all is dead | A |
| Of his mastery nothing remains behind | A |
| Shoot not thy feathered arrow astray | F |
| A bow shot's length through the air it has sped | A |
| And then dropped down in the dusty way | F |
| - | |
| But to thee oh Hafiz to thee oh Tongue | G |
| That speaks through the mouth of the slender reed | A |
| What thanks to thee when thy verses speed | A |
| From lip to lip and the song thou hast sung | G |
