ENCHANTRESS, by AL-MUNFATIL First Line: Friends, hear the story of / my heart's only love Last Line: Virginity. | |||
Friends, hear the story of My heart's only love: Lissom is she, And, as she sweetly sways, My fond heart obeys Her witchery. So sweetly she enchants; Each firm breast a lance Pointed at me, And pointed, guarding yet Her inviolate Virginity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MAN CHILD IS BORN (1839) by EDGAR LEE MASTERS LINES WRITTEN TO A TRANSLATOR OF GREEK POETRY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON TO TWO BEREAVED by THOMAS ASHE WATER WOMAN by JOSEPH AUSLANDER EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 23.
