Is it the hour? We leave this resting-place
Made fair by one another for a while.
Now, for a god-speed, one last mad embrace;

Will pale a little your scarlet lips, each mile

The mountain chase, the summer waves,

Khaja! grant one request, and only one,
Wish me God-speed, and get your preaching done;

Go! heal your purblind eyes, leave me alone....Read more of this...
