IN ABSENCE, by AVENZOAR First Line: My chick, my pretty one Last Line: And from my heart to thine. Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Marwun `abd Ad-malik Ibn Abi Al-`ala' Zuhr; Ibn Zuhr | |||
My chick, my pretty one, My little quail, my son: When we had to part I left with him my heart. I yearned so lovingly For him, and he for me: Bitter tears we shed When our farewells were said. Love must aweary grow Of running to and fro From thy heart to mine, And from my heart to thine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CHAMBER MUSIC: 30 by JAMES JOYCE LINES FROM A PLUTOCRATIC POETASTER TO A DITCH-DIGGER by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS SICILIAN EMIGRANT'S SONG by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS A RED, RED ROSE by ROBERT BURNS A SONG [OF DIVINE LOVE] by RICHARD CRASHAW GOD'S ACRE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
