THE INCENSE BURNER, by ABUS SALT First Line: Though its heart was all aflame Last Line: Paradise was theirs. Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Salt Umayya; Abu I-salt Umayyah | |||
Though its heart was all aflame, Yet it never knew that same Grief of parting, and that woe Sundered lovers know. When the lightning of the wine Bathed the drinkers in its shine, What a brave cloud billowed thence Sweet with frankincense! Never saw I, all my days, Such a conflagration blaze To persuade the revellers Paradise was theirs. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHITE CHARGER by ABUS SALT NOTHING BUT LEAVES by LUCY EVELINA AKERMAN LIBERTY FOR ALL by WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON EVENING IN ENGLAND by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE CUPID AND CAMPASPE, FR.
