UNEXPECTED FORTUNE, by ABUL QASIM OF SILVES First Line: I met the one I loved Last Line: And heard the voice of god. | |||
I met the one I loved (But she my sickness proved), And ventured to exclaim A greeting in her name. She, who so scornfully Till then had turned from me, Most generously now Rained kisses on my brow. So Moses in his days Beheld a bush ablaze; He sought a burning rod, And heard the voice of God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE DEATH OF MR.
