A poem attributed to Rumi

This version of the poem is from Silk Road Cooking: A Vegetarian Journey, by Najmieh Batmanglij.

Wheat

If wheat springs from my dust when I am dead
And from the grain that grows there you bake bread,
What drunkenness will rise and overthrow
With frenzied love the baker and his dough --
It is a tipsy song his ovens sing!
