THE SPEAR, by ABU ZAKARIYYA
First Line: My tawny spear is hoar of head Last Line: Lifeblood from the welling breast. Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Zakariya
My tawny spear is hoar of head With the dust of battle shed; Hoary age succeeds in truth To the verdant bloom of youth.
I reach it out toward my foes And into their hearts it goes; Like a rope it sinks, to wrest Lifeblood from the welling breast.
