noon
Yea ! even though there are many upon the bridge who , having preceded thee , await thy coming , yet art thou surrounded with love . And in the flowers in thy hands is there one which thou cherishest , and for which thou fearest . `` Fear not , wise woman ; let thy heart beat tranquilly at dawn , at noon and at the setting of the sun ; for it is written that no harm shall befall the flower , no stain shall mark the ivory petals of innocence ; no rude hand pluck it before its time . Thou art not the only one to love the flower , wise woman . There is one also who loveth it and watcheth it and will pluck it in due season ; there is yet another who loveth and watcheth , but from a great , great distance . If by the grace of Allah , who is God , the flower should be placed even for the passing of an hour within the hands of him who watcheth from afar , I tell thee , for so it is written , fear not , for no harm shall befall the fragrant blossom .
