THE SPEAR, by ABU ZAKARIYYA First Line: My tawny spear is hoar of head Last Line: Lifeblood from the welling breast. Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Zakariya | |||
My tawny spear is hoar of head With the dust of battle shed; Hoary age succeeds in truth To the verdant bloom of youth. I reach it out toward my foes And into their hearts it goes; Like a rope it sinks, to wrest Lifeblood from the welling breast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BIRDS DO THUS by ROBERT FROST AN HORATIAN ODE UPON CROMWELL'S RETURN FROM IRELAND by ANDREW MARVELL THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 27 by OMAR KHAYYAM O YOU WHOM I OFTEN AND SILENTLY COME by WALT WHITMAN GREENES FUNERALLS: SONNET 8 by RICHARD BARNFIELD PSALM 102 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE |
