WINE, MY LOVE, by ABU JAAFAR First Line: Ho, bring her hither, happy boy Last Line: It broadly smiles for the good cheer. Alternate Author Name(s): Abu Jafar Ahmad Ibn Said | |||
Ho, bring her hither, happy boy, For in her presence is my joy, But (and does love need further proof?) I grieve when she remains aloof. I speak upon the wine: when she Departs, the bowl weeps bitterly, But when the glass beholds her near It broadly smiles for the good cheer. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHITE PEACOCK by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET THE INCORRIGIBLE DIRIGIBLE by HAYDEN CARRUTH A LETTER FROM ITALY by JOSEPH ADDISON UP AT A VILLA - DOWN IN THE CITY by ROBERT BROWNING THE PROBLEM by RALPH WALDO EMERSON A TRIP TO PARIS AND BELGIUM: 16.
