REVEL, by ABUL HASAN OF SANTA MARIA First Line: The brightest night of all Last Line: Still kept its anklet nigh. | |||
The brightest night of all The nights that I recall Was that I never ceased Upon the wine to feast. And as I strove to keep My eyes apart from sleep, To the cup's ear-ring I Still kept its anklet nigh. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LAURA SLEEPING; ODE by CHARLES COTTON THE HILL WIFE: THE IMPULSE by ROBERT FROST THE CHURCH-PORCH by GEORGE HERBERT THE WHITE SHIP by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI THE WIDOW'S LAMENT IN SPRINGTIME by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS LUCY (4) by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THE LAST RAFT by JOSEPH V.
