Classic and Contemporary Poetry
DEPARTURE, by AL-HADRAMI
First Line: How they begrudged him yet
Last Line: His death.
First Line: How they begrudged him yet
Last Line: His death.
How they begrudged him yet
To say farewell, but oh
How generously they let
Him go!
So oft the medicine
For him who suffereth
At last resulteth in
His death.
