Now he is dead! Far hence he lies In the lorn Syrian town;
And on his grave , with shining eyes , The Syrain stars look down .

Love guards the roses of thy lips
And flies about them like a bee;
If I approach he forward skips,

The thorns he spares when the rose is taken.

The rocks are left when he wastes the plain.

The wind that wanders, the weeds wind-shaken,

These remain.

One task more declined, one more footpath untrod.
