AN EPITAPH.
Rests within this lonely mausoléum,
After Life's distractions and fatigue,
Leeh Rewáán, a man to hear and see whom
Monks and Meerzas journeyed many a league.
After Life's distractions and fatigue,
Leeh Rewáán, a man to hear and see whom
Monks and Meerzas journeyed many a league.
Yet not Leeh Rewáán himself, but rather
Leeh Rewáán's worn-out and cast-off dress;
He, the Man, dwells with his Heavenly Father
In a land of light and loveliness.
Leeh Rewáán's worn-out and cast-off dress;
He, the Man, dwells with his Heavenly Father
In a land of light and loveliness.

Shah of Song he was, and fond of laughter,
Sweet sharaab, and silver-spangled shawls.
Stranger! mayest thou quaff with him hereafter
Life's red wine in Eden's palace-halls!
Sweet sharaab, and silver-spangled shawls.
Stranger! mayest thou quaff with him hereafter
Life's red wine in Eden's palace-halls!
