PANEGYRIC, by ABU BAKR MUHUMMAD First Line: I do not know what I can bring Last Line: Their stars include the unarmed fish. | |||
I do not know what I can bring To court the graces of my king, Not having any aptitude Whereby his favours may be wooed. Yet I will take my love for you And consciousness of service true To be my advocate, whose word May likeliest in your heights be heard. And though I lack the instruments Of Zoar's starry eminence, I would remind you, if you wish, Their stars include the Unarmed Fish. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WINSOME WEE THING by ROBERT BURNS CHRISMUS ON THE PLANTATION by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR INTELLECT by RALPH WALDO EMERSON GULF-WEED by CORNELIUS GEORGE FENNER HUGH SELWYN MAUBERLEY: 5 by EZRA POUND |
