 [minstrels] Yasmin -- James Elroy Flecker
Flecker takes the form and makes it sing; the imagery is, perhaps, somewhat lacking when compared to masterpieces like "The Gates of Damascus", but more, I think, because Flecker didn't take the poem seriously enough than from any stylistic corner he painted himself into.
This is, indeed, a genuine tradeoff caused by Flecker's wish to have his quatrains-disguised-as-couplets not have a real break between the two long lines, and one which points strongly to the fact that 'Yasmin' is first and foremost a poem conforming to the aesthetics of English verse.
As for James Elroy Flecker's piece, Yasmin, it is a weak poem, and a particularly weak ghazal.

Summary of Collected Poems of James Elroy Flecker
Reader Summary - Flecker was a British poet who died young but still managed to produce a brilliant collection of poems which are almost totally unknown among Americans.
One of his finest achievements was to write two poems, "Pillage" and "The War-song of the Saracens", which present the same situation from the viewpoints of the conquerors and the conquered, both poems being in the same metrical structure, but the first one being languid and the other one energetic.
