<p class="margin-b">
The hour approacheth, when, as their stems incline,<br/>
The flowers evaporate like an incense urn,<br/>
And sounds and scents in the vesper breezes turn;<br/>
A melancholy waltz—and a drowsiness divine.<br/>
<br/>
The flowers evaporate like an incense urn,<br/>
The viol vibrates like the wailing of souls that repine.<br/>
A melancholy waltz—and a drowsiness divine,<br/>
The skies like a mosque are beautiful and stern.<br/>
<br/>
The viol vibrates like the wailing of souls that repine;<br/>
Sweet souls that shrink from chaos vast and etern,<br/>
The skies like a mosque are beautiful and stern,<br/>
The sunset drowns within its blood-red brine.<br/>
<br/>
Sweet souls that shrink from chaos vast and etern,<br/>
Essay the wreaths of their faded Past to entwine,<br/>
The sunset drowns within its blood-red brine,<br/>
Thy thought within me glows like an incense urn.<br/></p>
