TWO SUNS by AL-DABBAJ

First Line: WHEN SHE FLOATED INTO SIGHT
Last Line: SURE CURE FOR MY OPHTHALMIA!

When she floated into sight
On heaven's rim the sun was bright;
So I saw two suns appear,
The other distant, this one near.

The sun's wont, as all men find,
Is the beholder's eyes to blind;
This sun's light, I found, was a
Sure cure for my ophthalmia!
