Classic and Contemporary Poetry

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.
