THE STREAM, by AL-RUSAFI First Line: Poised between its banks, the stream Last Line: In his flag's shade. Alternate Author Name(s): Rusafi, Muhammad Ibn Ghalib Al- | |||
Poised between its banks, the stream Serenely curls, And its limpid waters gleam Like liquid pearls. With the noon the great trees thrust Athwart the flow Shadows, sombre as red rust Upon its glow. Lo, the river in its gown Of blue brocade Is a mailclad knight, cast down In his flag's shade. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WEAVER'S APPRENTICE by AL-RUSAFI THE YOUNG CARPENTER by AL-RUSAFI REVIEW by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON IN THE SHADOWS: MY EPITAPH by DAVID GRAY (1838-1861) SEVEN TIMES FOUR [ - MATERNITY] by JEAN INGELOW THE END OF THE DAY by DUNCAN CAMPBELL SCOTT THE LAW OF THE YUKON by ROBERT WILLIAM SERVICE THE SHEPHEARDES CALENDER: JULY by EDMUND SPENSER THE MOTHERLAND by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH TRAVELOGUE by EVA K.
