THE SPEAR, by ABU ZAKARIYYA First Line: My tawny spear is hoar of head Last Line: Lifeblood from the welling breast. Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Zakariya | |||
My tawny spear is hoar of head With the dust of battle shed; Hoary age succeeds in truth To the verdant bloom of youth. I reach it out toward my foes And into their hearts it goes; Like a rope it sinks, to wrest Lifeblood from the welling breast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY HUT; AFTER TRAN QUANG KHAI by HAYDEN CARRUTH NEW LOVE AND OLD by SARA TEASDALE THE FLAMING CIRCLE by LOUIS UNTERMEYER VISIONS OF THE DAUGHTERS OF ALBION by WILLIAM BLAKE THE LOST LEADER by ROBERT BROWNING STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING by ROBERT FROST |
