Song From The Persian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEAE FGFH IJIJ| AH sad are they who know not love | A |
| But far from passion's tears and smiles | B |
| Drift down a moonless sea beyond | C |
| The silvery coasts of fairy isles | B |
| - | |
| And sadder they whose longing lips | D |
| Kiss empty air and never touch | E |
| The dear warm mouth of those they love | A |
| Waiting wasting suffering much | E |
| - | |
| But clear as amber fine as musk | F |
| Is life to those who pilgrim wise | G |
| Move hand in hand from dawn to dusk | F |
| Each morning nearer Paradise | H |
| - | |
| Ah not for them shall angels pray | I |
| They stand in everlasting light | J |
| They walk in Allah's smile by day | I |
| And slumber in his heart by night | J |
