INVITATION, by AL-MUTAWAKKIL First Line: O abu talib, arise Last Line: While you remain afar. | |||

The necklace that we are Its middle gem still wants To crown its brilliance, While you remain afar. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS ON A THEME: ROMANCE by EDITH SITWELL A GRAMMARIAN'S FUNERAL by ROBERT BROWNING THE STARLIGHT NIGHT by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS THE BRIDE by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE JOY OF THE MORNING by EDWIN MARKHAM THE LAST SUPPER by RAINER MARIA RILKE THE TENT ON THE BEACH: 2.
