Hafiz - A Singing Cleaning Woman
A Singing Cleaning Woman A leaf says, "Sweethearts - don't pick me, For I am busy doing God's work. I am lowering my veins and roots Like ropes With buckets tied to them Into the earth's deep Lake. I am drawing water That I offer like a rose to The sky. I am a singing cleaning woman Dusting all the shelves in The air With my elegant green Rags. I have a heart. I can know happiness like You."
