REVEL, by ABUL HASAN OF SANTA MARIA First Line: The brightest night of all Last Line: Still kept its anklet nigh. | |||

And as I strove to keep My eyes apart from sleep, To the cup's ear-ring I Still kept its anklet nigh. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CLOTE (WATER-LILY) by WILLIAM BARNES CLARE'S DRAGOONS by THOMAS OSBORNE DAVIS SONNET: 9 by EDNA ST.
