Analysis of A Poem
Edward Powys Mathers 1892 (Forest Hill, London) – 1939
Joy fills my eyes, remembering your hair, with tears,
And these tears roll and shine;
Into my thoughts are woven a dark night with raindrops
And the rolling and shining of love songs.
From the Hindustani of Mir Taqui (eighteenth century).
