CHANGEFULNESS by ABU ISHAQ

First Line: MY FRIENDS, REPROACH NOT ME
Last Line: ALIKE THE BOW AND LUTE.
Subject(s): CHANGE;

My friends, reproach not me
With mutability
Because the singer's art
Ensnares and traps my heart:

Now frozen, cold as snow,
Now joyous and aglow,
As pliant ash will suit
Alike the bow and lute.
