If love be the wine supped <br />If heat of the hands be enough <br />If the cold fingers like dry branches <br />If trees grow flowers in autumn <br />If all that was thine be nonce <br />If the earth would once open wide <br />If the truth be once on the lips <br />If laws of nature be so <br />If to recreate from the time earl <br />For you to have your wishes thus <br />For me to be the angel of fate <br />Conspire once to the decree <br />Nature I had thine scribing accept <br />Wise man’s folly is insist on perish <br />Bring the cup in the tavern again <br />Moon is through the window sought <br />1/1/2010<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bring-the-cup/
