REVEL, by ABUL HASAN OF SANTA MARIA First Line: The brightest night of all Last Line: Still kept its anklet nigh. | |||
The brightest night of all The nights that I recall Was that I never ceased Upon the wine to feast. And as I strove to keep My eyes apart from sleep, To the cup's ear-ring I Still kept its anklet nigh. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BALLAD WHICH ANNE ASKEW MADE AND SANG WHEN SHE WAS IN NEWGATE by ANNE ASKEWE THE FLOOD OF YEARS by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT THE COCK AND THE FOX, OR THE TALE OF THE NUN'S PRIEST by GEOFFREY CHAUCER MOTHER TO SON by JAMES LANGSTON HUGHES DIFFERENT MINDS by RICHARD CHENEVIX TRENCH WRITTEN IN AN ALBUM AT CLIFTON by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES |
