Love
By the apple of your chin there
Translated by Edna Worthley Underwood (1917) · From Songs of Hafiz (1917)
Love
By the apple of your chin there
Love’s bright fountain winked at me.
Oh! my sad heart--now--where--where--
From memory’s tumultuous sea?
Nevermore except from Hafiz
Any peace to know or keep,
No, no! Not that way his path is--
Until sleep be long and deep.
