CONTENTMENT, by AL-TUTILI First Line: Leave wealth where wealth is found Last Line: Until you bare its blade. | |||
Leave wealth where wealth is found, To folk who boast it's theirs: It is the battleground Of all superfluous cares. In avarice and greed No longer be arrayed: The sword cuts not, indeed, Until you bare its blade. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A NYMPH'S PASSION by BEN JONSON PEEWEE by ALFRED FRANCIS KREYMBORG VOICES OF THE NIGHT: PRELUDE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THESEUS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 110 by PHILIP SIDNEY FRIENDSHIP; A SONNET by ALFRED TENNYSON |
