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...SIGNS OF THE TIMES by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR LIFE [AND THE FLOWERS] by GEORGE HERBERT 23RD STREET RUNS INTO HEAVEN by KENNETH PATCHEN SONNET: 2.
