The meads are skies; their stars, the drops of dew, glow;

The jasmine is the moon; the stream, the halo.

In short, each spot as resurrection-plane seems;

None who beholds of everlasting pain dreams.

Those who it view, and ponder well with thought's eye,

It's strange, if they be mazed and wildered thereby?

Up! breeze-like, Lami'i, thy hermitage leave!

The roses' days in sooth no time for fasts give!
