THE BANISHED LOVER, by ABD AL-RAHMAN AL-MUSTAZHIR First Line: All too long the night Last Line: Lapis lazuli. | |||
All too long the night Drags, and wearily, Since you take delight Thus to banish me. Treacherous gazelle, Mistress of delay In your troth, and well Tutored to betray: Have you lost to mind Those delightful hours You and I reclined On a couch of flowers? And the stars above Seemed like pearls to be In an ocean of Lapis lazuli. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PORTENT by HERMAN MELVILLE CONTRABAND by AVENELLE WILMETH BLAIR A HYMN OF TOUCH by GORDON BOTTOMLEY TO THE MEMORY OF MY DEAR DAUGHTER IN LAW by ANNE BRADSTREET IN EXAMINATION by RUPERT BROOKE A FRAGMENT by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN |
