Tis like the birthday of the world,
When earth was born in bloom;

The very rainbow showers
Have turned to blossoms where they fell,
And sown the earth with flowers.

Oh moon, without me, do not shine;
Oh earth, without me, do not grow,
Oh time, without me, do not go.
...Oh, you cannot go, without me.
Rumi
