Classic and Contemporary Poetry
THE ARMY, by ABU ZAID
First Line: O wielder of the lance
Last Line: An army in your eyes?
First Line: O wielder of the lance
Last Line: An army in your eyes?
O wielder of the lance,
Be satisfied: refrain!
Has not your shining glance
Inflicted ample pain?
Although but one you are,
Do you not realise
You carry into war
An army in your eyes?
