The rose garden of Persia . 10. Day rose, and smiled in high disdain :Cease all this boasting, void and vain; ,The Lord of Heaven, and earth, and thee, .?Gave me a place more proud than thine, ?S,And men with joy my rising see,Andhail the beams that round me holy pilgrim takes by dayTo many a sacred shine his way;By day the pious fast and pray;And solemn feasts are held by day. On the lad day the worlds career is run,As on ^e first its being was begun. Thou, Night, art friendly, it may lovers fly for help to do the sick thy healing see ? S^, >,.
