FORGIVENESS, by AL-JAZIRI First Line: When abu amir pardoned me Last Line: Admits their souls to paradise. | |||
When Abu Amir pardoned me I marvelled at his clemency, Yet realised that it must soon Be followed by a greater boon. For similarly Allah, when He overlooks the sins of men To crown His bounty, in a trice Admits their souls to Paradise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PENDULUM by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE MILLER'S DAUGHTER by JOHN CROWE RANSOM THE ROSE AND THE BEE by SARA TEASDALE TEARS by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING EARTH'S IMMORTALITIES: FAME by ROBERT BROWNING GREEN RIVER by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT SONG OF THE RABBITS OUTSIDE THE TAVERN by ELIZABETH JANE COATSWORTH |
