IN BATTLE, by ABUL HASAN OF BADAJOZ First Line: I recalled my heart's desire Last Line: Running to embrace their lances. | |||
I recalled my heart's desire While the flames of battle darted, And remembered how love's fire Burned my body, when we parted. As the foemen shaft on shaft Thrusted, I descried her glances Gleam among them, and I laughed Running to embrace their lances. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VIGNETTES OVERSEAS: 10.
