To The Shah

Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson [More Titles by Emerson]

FROM HAFIZ

Thy foes to hunt, thy enviers to strike down,
Poises Arcturus aloft morning and evening his spear.

 

TO THE SHAH

FROM ENWERI

Not in their houses stand the stars,
But o'er the pinnacles of thine!

 

TO THE SHAH

FROM ENWERI

From thy worth and weight the stars gravitate,
And the equipoise of heaven is thy house's equipoise.

[The end]
Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem: To The Shah
