IN ABSENCE, by AVENZOAR First Line: My chick, my pretty one Last Line: And from my heart to thine. Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Marwun `abd Ad-malik Ibn Abi Al-`ala' Zuhr; Ibn Zuhr | |||
My chick, my pretty one, My little quail, my son: When we had to part I left with him my heart. I yearned so lovingly For him, and he for me: Bitter tears we shed When our farewells were said. Love must aweary grow Of running to and fro From thy heart to mine, And from my heart to thine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GIFT TO SING by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SONG OF AUTUMN by PAUL VERLAINE THE SAILOR BOY by ALFRED TENNYSON SOTTO VOCE by HAROLD MARTIN BOWMAN PASTORAL BALLADS: SPRING by THOMAS BREREWOOD PHEIDIPPIDES by ROBERT BROWNING ON A CERTAIN COMMEMORATION OF THOMSON by ROBERT BURNS WASHINGTON by HEZEKIAH BUTTERWORTH ON THE MEANING OF THE WORD 'WRATH' AS APPLIED TO GOD IN SCRIPTURE by JOHN BYROM |
