THE BANISHED LOVER, by ABD AL-RAHMAN AL-MUSTAZHIR First Line: All too long the night Last Line: Lapis lazuli. | |||
All too long the night Drags, and wearily, Since you take delight Thus to banish me. Treacherous gazelle, Mistress of delay In your troth, and well Tutored to betray: Have you lost to mind Those delightful hours You and I reclined On a couch of flowers? And the stars above Seemed like pearls to be In an ocean of Lapis lazuli. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HYMN TO GOD MY GOD, IN MY SICKNESS by JOHN DONNE THE MORAL FABLES: THE TALE OF THE TWO MICE by AESOP WRITTEN IN BUTLER'S SERMONS by MATTHEW ARNOLD CRYING, 'THALASSUS!' by JOSEPH AUSLANDER THE HISTORY OF ARCADIUS AND SEPHA: BOOK 1 by WILLIAM BOSWORTH ON THE NATURALIZATION BILL (2) by JOHN BYROM MORNING by CHARLES STUART CALVERLEY |
