THE SKIFF, by AL-MUNSAFI First Line: Its legs unlooping Last Line: Lashes of the eye. | |||
Its legs unlooping I watched a swimmer glide, A falcon swooping By eagles terrified: An eyeball squinting Acutely at the sky, Its oars the glinting Lashes of the eye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE TEMPTRESS by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON IMMORTALITY by EMILY DICKINSON GENERAL WILLIAM BOOTH ENTERS INTO HEAVEN by NICHOLAS VACHEL LINDSAY ON CRITICS; IN IMITATION OF ANACREON by MATTHEW PRIOR SPANIARDS' GRAVES AT THE ISLES OF SHOALS by CELIA LEIGHTON THAXTER SONNET WRITTEN IN THE FALL OF 1914: 4 by GEORGE EDWARD WOODBERRY THE BEACHCOMBER by MILDRED DOSCH BANTA PORTRAIT SONNETS: 3 by HENRY BELLAMANN |
