THE SHAVEN BEAUTY, by YUSUF IBN HARUN AL-RAMADI First Line: They have shaved his head Last Line: Thank god his dawn still saving! | ||||||||
They have shaved his head In ugliness to dress him; They were full of dread, And jealous to possess him. Black as night, and bright As dawn, until his shaving, Now he's lost his night, Thank God his dawn still saving! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GOLD-SEEKERS by HAMLIN GARLAND SANDALPHON by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: LUCINDA MATLOCK by EDGAR LEE MASTERS TO THE BELOVED by ALICE MEYNELL THE CHALLENGE by ALEXANDER POPE PIETRO ARETINO by LUCIUS MORRIS BEEBE HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 47 by WILLIAM BOSWORTH |
