Death & Dying
At the Grave of His Son
Translated by Edna Worthley Underwood (1917) · From Songs of Hafiz (1917)
Death & Dying
The Spring has come! The roses wake from sleep!
My long lost Rose, why shouldst thou slumber keep?
I’ll weep and weep like to that radiant cloud,
That with the flowers thou too mayst lift the shroud.
