WINE, MY LOVE, by ABU JAAFAR First Line: Ho, bring her hither, happy boy Last Line: It broadly smiles for the good cheer. Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Jafar Ahmad Ibn Said | |||

I speak upon the wine: when she Departs, the bowl weeps bitterly, But when the glass beholds her near It broadly smiles for the good cheer. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MODULATIONS by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON IF HE SHOULD COME by EDWIN MARKHAM A POET'S WELCOME TO HIS LOVE-BEGOTTEN DAUGHTER by ROBERT BURNS ELEGY IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON THE OLD VIOLIN by MAURICE FRANCIS EGAN |
