THE BREEZE, by AL-HUSRI First Line: I breathed the blowing breeze Last Line: The embers, till they glow. | |||
I breathed the blowing breeze That haply it might ease My pains, and bring to me A fragrant air from thee. Alas, it roused instead Love's ardour from the dead, And published far and wide Love's secret I would hide. For when fresh winds suspire O'er an extinguished fire, They kindle as they blow The embers, till they glow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POOR DEVIL! by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET LINES TO WILLIAM LINLEY WHILE HE SANG A SONG TO PURCELL'S MUSIC by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE GRATIANA DANCING AND SINGING by RICHARD LOVELACE SONGS OF TRAVEL: 26.
