O! Death stop, O! Time tarry, stay; <br />Enlarge the hours of night and day. <br /> <br />On the soft beach of poetry I stand, <br />The waves touch, caress the cold sand. <br /> <br />Bring they to me the colourful beads, <br />It is the time to fold the worldly deeds. <br />And to pick all the pearls scattered, <br />As the world seems to be shattered. <br /> <br />Allow me to join the beads in strings, <br />Let me replace with the fatal things; <br />That men carry them in their hands, <br />And straighten the entangled strands. <br /> <br />For I long to see humanity converse, <br />In a tongue but no other than verse.<br /><br />Muhammad Shanazar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-death-stop/
