TREES AND WAVES, by AL-ISRA'ILI First Line: Elms in the meadow springing Last Line: And cry, 'to battle!' | ||||||||
Elms in the meadow springing, Silken pennants swinging On tawny lances; The river dances... Ripple of mail rises To war; no surprise is The elms stand steady, Line of combat ready. Wave on wave surging, To the ramparts verging; The bent elms prattle And cry, 'To battle!' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN A STRANGE CITY by LOUIS UNTERMEYER MOST LOVELY SHADE; FOR ALICE BOUVERIE by EDITH SITWELL THERE WILL COME SOFT RAINS' by SARA TEASDALE IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 51 by ALFRED TENNYSON THE IMAGE OF GOD by FRANCISCO DE ALDANA TO THE DEAD by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD |
