SONNET ON DESOLATION


Yon itinerates the Phoebe, I feel not it's coolness Sans aroma, crimson roses That blooms within my seraglio, Sun that giveth radiance Scorches me not! Lacks shade, the trees Where I stand. When damsels embrace me Ne’er am I in lust, Though posset I do drink It embitters my tongue, Sans my Psyche - this terra Is inferno unto me.
