RITUAL, by IBN ABD RABBIHI Poet's Biography First Line: Pretty as a posy Last Line: Stemmed on emerald. | |||
Pretty as a posy Runs my maid divine, In her fingers rosy Bearing rosy wine. See with what devotion Ewer bows to glass; Prostrate to the potion Kneels my godless lass. Jasmin's silver scatter Wondrous to behold: Jonquil's golden platter Stemmed on emerald. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MODEST BLUSH by IBN ABD RABBIHI WAR IS KIND: 21 by STEPHEN CRANE WEARINESS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW MEMORIAL TABLET (GREAT WAR, 1918) by SIEGFRIED SASSOON ON A GRAVE IN CHRIST-CHURCH, HANTS by OSCAR FAY ADAMS OF THE REED THAT THE JEWS SET IN OUR SAVIOUR'S HAND by WILLIAM ALABASTER TO A SISTER OF CHARITY by EDWIN GEORGE ALEXANDER NIGHT-WIND by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN OUR OLD CENTER-TOWN VERMONT MEETINGHOUSE by DANIEL LEAVENS CADY |
