THE SKIFF, by AL-MUNSAFI First Line: Its legs unlooping Last Line: Lashes of the eye. | |||
Its legs unlooping I watched a swimmer glide, A falcon swooping By eagles terrified: An eyeball squinting Acutely at the sky, Its oars the glinting Lashes of the eye. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON LIBERTY AND SLAVERY by GEORGE MOSES HORTON TO LUCASTA, [ON] GOING BEYOND THE SEAS by RICHARD LOVELACE THE ORPHAN BOY'S TALE by AMELIA OPIE AUTUMN (1) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI AT THE SEASIDE by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON AFTER YEARS by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS STAGE SETTING KANSAS by BERNICE GIBBS ANDERSON OLD AND NEW; THE CENTURY ASSOCIATION, 1847-1897 by WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER |
