Classic and Contemporary Poetry
COLLOQUY, by AL-MUNSAFI
First Line: Lo, death has come for thee
Last Line: Who knock at bounty's door?'
First Line: Lo, death has come for thee
Last Line: Who knock at bounty's door?'
'Lo, Death has come for thee,
And still thou flounderest in
The ocean of thy sin':
So speaks my soul with me.
'All unprovisioned for
The road....' 'Have done!' I say;
'What provender need they
Who knock at Bounty's door?'
