Song of Faiz Ulla

Topics: classic

Just at the time when Jasmins bloom, most sweetly in the summer weather,     Lost in the scented Jungle gloom, one sultry night we spent together     We, Love and Night, together blent, a Trinity of tranced content.     Yet, while your lips were wholly mine, to kiss, to drink from, to caress,     We heard some far-off faint distress; harsh drop of poison in sweet wine     Lessening the fulness of delight, -    Some quivering note of human pain,     Which rose and fell and rose again, in plaintive sobs throughout the night,     Spoiling the perfumed, moonless hours     We spent among the Jasmin flowers.
