FORGIVENESS, by AL-JAZIRI First Line: When abu amir pardoned me Last Line: Admits their souls to paradise. | |||
When Abu Amir pardoned me I marvelled at his clemency, Yet realised that it must soon Be followed by a greater boon. For similarly Allah, when He overlooks the sins of men To crown His bounty, in a trice Admits their souls to Paradise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MONUMENT MOUNTAIN by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT CHAUCERS WORDES UNTO ADAM, HIS OWN SCRIVEYN by GEOFFREY CHAUCER THE THRUSH'S NEST by JOHN CLARE THE NEW EZEKIEL by EMMA LAZARUS SUMMER STORM by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL NORMAN CRADLE-SONG by VINCENT JAMES O'SULLIVAN A PRAYER by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL TO ONE WHO HAD LEFT HER CONVENT TO MARRY by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT |
