NO.
When sunlight faileth 1
I called to fading day 2
O youth’s young cloudlet, O freshness free 3
Wend I, wander I, past all worlds that be 4
Eyes that o’er the landscape fly 5
O what availeth thee thy melting mood 6
All things born to break 7
If there be any power in passion’s prayer 8
In love’s great ocean, whose calm-shelter’d shore 9
When sorrow hath outsoar’d our nature’s clime 10
O gentle weariness 11
Peace, for whose presence we did erewhile call 12
Beauty is a waving tree 13
Wheresoever beauty flies 14
When first to earth thy gentle spirit came 15
For sake of these two splendours do the wise 16
She hath not beauty, that ill-fortun’d gem 17
When thou art gone, & when are gone all those 18
Play thou on men as on a harp’s string 19
Go, book: go, vessel laden with the mind 20
When the strong climber his last mountain-crest 21
Since neither man’s proud pomp & kingly name 22
Pureness of pale moon, loneness of far skies 23
After Hafez
I saw fair Fortune, one clear morning, touch 24
Come let us drink & deeply drown 25
Once more, O happy hill & peaceful plain 26
Tell me not, mournful Preacher, that to prize 27
What madness ’twas, I know not, that thus enchanted me 28
She went.—O whither too, O one true love 29
I said, ‘O heavenly Leader, O truth’s day 30
Where is the pious doer? & I the estray’d one, where? 31
I said, ‘Thou knowest, O all-knowing Friend 32
My heart the chamber of His musing is 33
Fair is the leisure of life’s garden-ground 34
Thus spake at dawn to the fresh-open’d rose 35
Though beauty’s tress be strayed, ’tis beauteous still 36
Arise, O cup-bearer, & bring 37
Our toil is He, & eke our journey’s end 38
