MOON OF GRACE, by AL-JAZZAR First Line: Neath the hood and cape Last Line: Harbour musk divine. | ||||||||
Neath the hood and cape That his beauty drape Shines my moon of grace: 'Ye who love forsake' Cry his charms, 'O take Me to your embrace!' If his garments seem Coarse, and if ye deem He is meanly clad, Yet recall the rose: Stemmed on thorns, it glows Beautiful and glad. Recollect the pitch Black and brutal, which Crowns the precious wine, And remember how Boxes cheap enow Harbour musk divine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN A BREATH; TO THE WILLIAMSON BROTHERS by CARL SANDBURG ON THE RHINE by WILLIAM LISLE BOWLES COUSIN NANCY by THOMAS STEARNS ELIOT INSCRIPTIONS: 3 by MARK AKENSIDE CASTLES IN THE AIR by JAMES BALLANTYNE THE LAST MAN: MIDNIGHT HYMN by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES |
