THE SHAVEN BEAUTY, by YUSUF IBN HARUN AL-RAMADI First Line: They have shaved his head Last Line: Thank god his dawn still saving! | |||
They have shaved his head In ugliness to dress him; They were full of dread, And jealous to possess him. Black as night, and bright As dawn, until his shaving, Now he's lost his night, Thank God his dawn still saving! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ANIMAL CRACKERS by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY THE HUSKERS by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER IN THE BELFRY OF THE NIEUWE KERK by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH IN MEMORY OF MY DEAR GRANDCHILD ELIZABETH ..
