Long Slumber! Poem by AFFAQ NABI

Long slumber, the hope and the horror,
Short summer and the false lover
It was a torture, my dear------
Green garden, which the king offered
What a sweet torture, O! shorebird
Bring forward your brief work.
Long slumber, no more want or regret or relish
Even with this small number.

The mortal fame and floral scent,
All just away went --------
Long slumber; you've been aired about right and wrong,
By one mighty and strong,
to enlighten your thoughts.
The trip is over-------

Long slumber, the hope and the horror,
No more pangs or ankle pain or wax and wane.
Everything was just a dream.
Nor more than a dry stream.
Long slumber, the hope, and the horror.
