A Request

Title:     A Request
Author: Edward Powys Mathers [More Titles by Mathers]

When I am cold and undesirous and my lids lie dead,
Come to watch by the body that loved you and say:
This is Rondagui, whom I killed and my heart regrets for ever.

From the Persian of Rondagui (tenth century).

[The end]
Edward Powys Mathers's poem: Request
