THE STORK, by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM
First Line: She comes, an exile fair
Last Line: Of sandal-wood.
Subject(s): Storks
First Line: She comes, an exile fair
Last Line: Of sandal-wood.
Subject(s): Storks
She comes, an exile fair
In flight, to bear
Glad tidings on her wing
Of joyous spring.
Spread wings of ebony,
Clapped ivory,
Squawked laughter loud and good
Of sandal-wood.
