An old mosque’s courtyard in Bursa,
The shivering water in the old fountain,
A plane tree and a rampart old as millennium,
Accompanies thou on a calm day.
With the misery of leaving a dream behind,
It smiles at me deeply.
From the chill of hundreds of fountains,
With the green of meadow and blue of the sky,
And the divinest of the architecture”
