Bulbuls Nachtlied
The
nightingale’s nightsong through the shower
Resounded to Allah's
lighted throne,
And thanks to the wonderful song
He imprisoned
it in a golden cage.
This is like the body of man.
Indeed, it
feels confining:
But, when you think about it,
The little soul
sings always onward.
-JW Goethe from the West-East Divan
The first of three songs entitled: DIVAN SONGS
