Tidings Of Union Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEFDFEGBGFHBFFH FF I| Where are the tidings of union that I may arise | A |
| Forth from the dust I will rise up to welcome thee | B |
| My soul like a homing bird yearning for Paradise | C |
| Shall arise and soar from the snares of the world set free | B |
| When the voice of thy love shall call me to be thy slave | D |
| I shall rise to a greater far than the mastery | B |
| Of life and the living time and the mortal span | E |
| Pour down oh Lord from the clouds of thy guiding grace | F |
| The rain of a mercy that quickeneth on my grave | D |
| Before like dust that the wind bears from place to place | F |
| I arise and flee beyond the knowledge of man | E |
| When to my grave thou turnest thy blessed feet | G |
| Wine and the lute thou shalt bring in thine hand to me | B |
| Thy voice shall ring through the folds of my winding sheet | G |
| And I will arise and dance to thy minstrelsy | F |
| Though I be old clasp me one night to thy breast | H |
| And I when the dawn shall come to awaken me | B |
| With the flush of youth on my check from thy bosom will rise | F |
| Rise up let mine eyes delight in thy stately grace | F |
| Thou art the goal to which all men's endeavour has pressed | H |
| And thou the idol of Hafiz' worship thy face | F |
| From the world and life shall bid him come forth and arise | F |
