Excerpt
Paint Meadows fresh with bright Buds, let Hedgerows sprout once more; Rose Breast-Knots, slender Lilies in bathing Rain, make New! Melt with thy warm Breath Winter's iced Coat and frozen Spear; With tender Smile shame Hatred; Peace, ending Pain, make New!
Source Rûmî, Divan (Hastie), Gazel 14, §1 · 📖 Read the full passage
