Kala of Hawaii
The Kasîdah of Hâjî Abdû El-Yezdî
How every high heroic Thought That longed to breathe empyrean air. Failed of its feathers, fell to earth, And perished of a sheer despair;
O'er fiery waste and frozen wold, O'er horrid hill and gloomy glen, The home of grisly beast and Ghoul, The haunts of wilder, grislier men;
Buy you of finer, nobler, stuff, Ye, whom to Higher leads the High, What binds your hearts in common bond With creatures of the stall and sty?
'How may the passing Now contain The standing Now—Eternity?— An endless is without a was, The be and never the to-be?
The gentle Moon, the lesser light, The lover's lamp, the Swain's delight, A ruined world, a globe burnt out, A corpse upon the road of night.
The dreadest sound man's ear can hear, The war and rush of stormy Wind Depures the stuff of human life, Breeds health and strength for humankind:
Be ye Good Boys, go seek for Heaven, Come pay the priest that holds the key; So spake, and speaks, and aye shall speak The last to enter Heaven,—he.
The Soul required a greater Soul, A Soul of Souls to rule the host; Hence spirit-powers and heirarchies, All gendered by the savage Ghost.
Hard to the heart is final death: Fain would an Ens not end in Nil; Love made the sentiment kindly good: The Priest perverted all to ill.
Safely he jogs along the way Which 'Golden Mean' the sages call; Who scales the brow of frowning Alp Must face full many a slip and fall.
Be thine own Deus: Make self free, Liberal as the circling air: Thy thought to thee an Empire be; Break every prisoning lock and bar:
Wend now thy way with brow serene, Fear not thy humble tale to tell:— The whispers of the Desert-wind; The tinkling of the camel's bell.
