Classic and Contemporary Poetry
MOON AND VENUS, by ABUL MUGHIRA
First Line: When my eyes descried thee
Last Line: Soon to spin between us.
First Line: When my eyes descried thee
Last Line: Soon to spin between us.
When my eyes descried thee
In the dawn, O crescent
Moon, and close beside thee
Venus incandescent,
To my mind observing
Like a ball was Venus,
From thy mallet swerving
Soon to spin between us.
