BATTLE, by AL-TUTILI First Line: Bright as moon serenely burning Last Line: Halo, circled him about. | |||
Bright as moon serenely burning, Brave as lion: so he burst Where the mills of war were turning And the battle raged its worst. As I saw the lances gleaming Round his brow, I was in doubt If a forest, or a beaming Halo, circled him about. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ART OF POETRY; TO CHARLES MORICE by PAUL VERLAINE A LETTER FROM ITALY by JOSEPH ADDISON THE PLANTING OF THE APPLE TREE by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT ALMOND BLOSSOM by EDWIN ARNOLD IN THE STILLNESS O' THE NIGHT by WILLIAM BARNES THE INDIAN SIGN by BERTON BRALEY SMATTERERS by SAMUEL BUTLER (1612-1680) |
