WINE, MY LOVE, by ABU JAAFAR First Line: Ho, bring her hither, happy boy Last Line: It broadly smiles for the good cheer. Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Jafar Ahmad Ibn Said | |||
Ho, bring her hither, happy boy, For in her presence is my joy, But (and does love need further proof?) I grieve when she remains aloof. I speak upon the wine: when she Departs, the bowl weeps bitterly, But when the glass beholds her near It broadly smiles for the good cheer. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON AN OLD MUFF by FREDERICK LOCKER-LAMPSON THE RUBAIYAT, 1879 EDITION: 71 by OMAR KHAYYAM AFTERMATH by SIEGFRIED SASSOON THE SONG OF THE COSSACK by PIERRE JEAN DE BERANGER OLD HOMES by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN RHYME OF THE DUCHESS MAY by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING HYMN OF THE WALDENSES by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT BANNOCKS O' BARLEY by ROBERT BURNS A DIALOGUE ON NATUREM POWER AND USE OF HUMAN LEARNING, IN RELIGION by JOHN BYROM |
