On Reading Omar Khayyam
[During an anti-saloon campaign, in central Illinois.
]


In the midst of the battle I turned,
(For the thunders could flourish without me)
And hid by a rose-hung wall,
Forgetting the murder about me;
And wrote, from my wound, on the stone,
In mirth, half prayer, half play: —
"Send me a picture book,
Send me a song, to-day.
"

I saw him there by the wall
When I scarce had written the line,
In the enemy's colors dressed
And the serpent-standard of wine
Writhing its withered length
From his ghostly hands o'er the ground,
And there by his shadowy breast
The glorious poem I found.


This was his world-old cry:
Thus read the famous prayer:
"Wine, wine, wine and flowers
And cup-bearers always fair!"
'Twas a book of the snares of earth
Bordered in gold and blue,
And I read each line to the wind
And read to the roses too:
And they nodded their womanly heads
And told to the wall just why
For wine of the earth men bleed,
Kingdoms and empires die.

I envied the grape stained sage:
(The roses were praising him.
)
The ways of the world seemed good
And the glory of heaven dim.

I envied the endless kings
Who found great pearls in the mire,
Who bought with the nation's life
The cup of delicious fire.


But the wine of God came down,
And I drank it out of the air.

(Fair is the serpent-cup,
But the cup of God more fair.
)
The wine of God came down
That makes no drinker to weep.

And I went back to battle again
Leaving the singer asleep.
