ALGECIRAS SEEN OVER A STORMY SEA, by IBN MALIK OF GRANADA Poet's Biography First Line: At ceuta I cast aside Last Line: Yet so far to capture. Subject(s): Algeciras (city), Spain | ||||||||
At Ceuta I cast aside The saddle of my roaming, And hoped a smoother tide Of fortune might be coming. My covert I did see, Har Algeciras city; The waves prevented me To hunt her fawns so pretty. As in a mirror clear A lovely face with rapture Is glimpsed so near, so near, Yet so far to capture. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW IT STRIKES A CONTEMPORARY by ROBERT BROWNING PAST AND PRESENT by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON TO FINE LADY WOULD-BE by BEN JONSON THE CROWING OF THE RED COCK by EMMA LAZARUS THE FARMER'S BRIDE by CHARLOTTE MEW INSPIRATION (2) by HENRY DAVID THOREAU ECCLESIASTICAL SONNETS: PART 3: 5.
