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...THANKSGIVING DAY by LYDIA MARIA CHILD UPON JULIA'S BREASTS by ROBERT HERRICK THE SOLSEQUIUM by ALEXANDER MONTGOMERIE AT FREDERICKSBURG [DECEMBER 13, 1862] by JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY FOR THE HOLY FAMILY, BY MICHELANGELO (IN THE NATIONAL GALLERY) by DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI |
