Death & Dying
Quatrain 116
Translated by E. H. Whinfield (1883) · From The Quatrains (Whinfield)
Death & Dying
Now spring-tide showers its foison on the land,
And lively hearts wend forth, a joyous band,
For 'Isa's breath wakes the dead earth to life,
And trees gleam white with flowers, like Musa's hand.
