Beauty of Nature
I went to the garden and drank some ale
And heard the wailing of the nightingale
Blooming there also was a beautiful rose
But, unlike the birds, it had no woes
It looked so happy, so vigorous, so proud
Standing alone and above the crowd.
The narcissus also was looking very grand,
Had a tulip in waiting with a cup in hand
The iris there also lashing its tongue
Scolding them all, whether old or young,
And holding a flask was there a lass
Pouring red wine in everyone's glass
And there was Hafiz singing his song
Telling us to come and sing along.
By Hafiz
