THE INKSTAND, by IBN LUBBAL
First Line: A servitor of learning
Last Line: The crescent moon her crown imperial.
First Line: A servitor of learning
Last Line: The crescent moon her crown imperial.
A servitor of learning,
In her bosom burning
A love deep-hidden
For lore both lawful and forbidden.
In night's cloak enshrouded,
Her girdle brightly crowded
With stars etherial,
The crescent moon her crown imperial.
