Song of Narcissi

“Let love water those narcissi with dew,
Then gather those dew drops as they roll down
Through sublime tenderness of those roses
Adorning violets with a pearl-crown.

Can you hear the song of those narcissi
As they enthrall your gaze and dance and sway?
Your eyes are deaf and your ears blind to it,
Silence! Do not hark such songs if not fey.”
{~Umr~}

In Persian Literature,….
Narcissus (Narcissi – plural) = eyes.
Roses = Cheeks.
Violets = Hair.
Keep above information in context and visualize. I’m using dew-drops as tears.
