Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Nightingale of Heaven: To The Bab

Nightingale of Heaven:
To The Bab

O Nightingale of heaven! Warble upon the boughs of this celestial garden in the name of the Beloved, for the beauty of the Rose hath appeared from behind an impenetrable veil. Praise be to Thee, O Thou Who art "He", O Thou besides Whom there is none other but "He"!

Baha'u'llah1

The Nightingale of Paradise
sings in the Tree of Life
His sweet melody
proclaiming to humanity
the secret of divine unity.

The Holy Spirit flows
Through religions' scriptures:
Divine unity.

The Nightingale of heaven
raises its voice in praise celebrating
the Declaration of the Bab,
and God's new day.

Poet's Note: ▼

This is poem 110 of the 200 I am writing to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Birth of The Bab.
