Love
Praise God, the wine door’s open, Men!
Translated by Edna Worthley Underwood (1917) · From Songs of Hafiz (1917)
Love
Praise God, the wine door’s open, Men!
I’m off on the old path again!
True spirit fire the wine-jars frame,
(Fools take symbolically the same!)
I take as tastes. Hafiz divine,
None know thee save when candles shine!
