"O bird of the Rose-garden of Fidelity!..."

1 |
O bird
[The maid-servant Ta-er, of Teheran, Persia.]
of the Rose-garden of Fidelity!
|
2 |
Be of no cheerless heart; have no wing nor feather
broken;sigh not, neither do thou wail, and sit not
chilled in a corner.

The little girl lamented is in the divine Rose-garden
in the highest happiness, delight, cheerfulness and gratification.
Why then art thou grieved, sorrowing with a
bleeding heart? This is the day of rejoicing and the
hour of ecstasy! This is the season of the dead arising
from the graves and gathering together! And this is
the promised time for the attainment of plenteous grace.
|
4 |
Be calm, be strong, be grateful, and become a lamp
full of light, that the darkness of sorrows be annihilated,
and that the sun of everlasting joy arise from the dawning-place
of heard and soul, shining brightly.***

Upon thee be the Glory of the Most-Glorious!
