Wake! for the sun who scatter'd into flight -- Before the phantom of false morning died -- Now the new year reviving old desires -- Irám indeed is gone with all his rose -- Come, fill the cup, and in the fire of spring -- Whether at Naishapur or Babylon -- Ah, not a drop that from our cups we throw -- I sometimes think that never blows so red -- A book of verses underneath the bough -- Myself when young did eagerly frequent -- Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend -- When you and I behind the veil are past -- But if the soul can fling the dust aside -- I sent my soul through the invisible -- Alas! that spring should vanish with the rose! -- The worldly hope men set their hearts upon -- Each morn a thousand roses brings, you say -- They say the lion and the lizard keep -- Ah, fill the cup! what boots it to repeat -- Ah, moon of my delight, that knows no wane -- As then the tulip for her morning sup -- Alas! that spring should vanish with the rose!
