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...OLD SUSAN by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE BEDTIME by FRANCIS ROBERT ST.
