Love
Bülbül
From Piyale (1926). Original Turkish text.
LoveNature
Bir gamlı hazanın seherinde
Israra ne hâcet yine, bülbül!
Bil, kalbimizin bahçelerinde
Can verdi senin söylediğin gül!
Savrulmada gül şimdi havada
Gün doğmada bir başka ziyâda...

Codex Note
The title means 'The Nightingale'. On an autumn dawn the poet tells the nightingale that there is no use singing on, because the rose it sang of has already died in our hearts.
