THE STREAM, by AL-RUSAFI First Line: Poised between its banks, the stream Last Line: In his flag's shade. Alternate Author Name(s): Rusafi, Muhammad Ibn Ghalib Al- | |||
Poised between its banks, the stream Serenely curls, And its limpid waters gleam Like liquid pearls. With the noon the great trees thrust Athwart the flow Shadows, sombre as red rust Upon its glow. Lo, the river in its gown Of blue brocade Is a mailclad knight, cast down In his flag's shade. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WEAVER'S APPRENTICE by AL-RUSAFI THE YOUNG CARPENTER by AL-RUSAFI TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN HOUSES OF DREAMS by SARA TEASDALE HILL-SIDE TREE by MAXWELL BODENHEIM A WOMAN'S LAST WORD by ROBERT BROWNING BOLDNESS IN LOVE by THOMAS CAREW HOLIDAY AT HAMPTON COURT by JOHN DAVIDSON THE MESSAGE, FR.
