THE SPEAR, by ABU ZAKARIYYA First Line: My tawny spear is hoar of head Last Line: Lifeblood from the welling breast. Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Zakariya | |||
My tawny spear is hoar of head With the dust of battle shed; Hoary age succeeds in truth To the verdant bloom of youth. I reach it out toward my foes And into their hearts it goes; Like a rope it sinks, to wrest Lifeblood from the welling breast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POETASTER: SONG (4) by BEN JONSON PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 26.
