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...NURSING HOME: THE CANARY by KAREN SWENSON FAREWELL TO MALTA by GEORGE GORDON BYRON THE BATTLEFIELD by EMILY DICKINSON TALES OF A WAYSIDE INN: THE FIRST DAY: ROBERT OF SICILY by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE IRISH PEASANT TO HIS MISTRESS by THOMAS MOORE 23RD STREET RUNS INTO HEAVEN by KENNETH PATCHEN A LOVE SONNET by GEORGE WITHER THE TRANCE by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE LOVE SONGS: 9.
