VULTURES, by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM First Line: The dead lie strewn about Last Line: With henna their white hair. | ||||||||

All crimson with the meal, They look as though they were Old women, who aneal With henna their white hair. | Other Poems of Interest...THE BROKEN WATER WHEEL by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM THE CANDLE by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM THE PEN by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM THE STORK by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM THE TOOTHPICK by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM THE IMPOSSIBLE INDISPENSIBILITY OF THE ARS POETICA by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE WHITE COMRADE (AFTER W.H.
