TREES AND WAVES, by AL-ISRA'ILI First Line: Elms in the meadow springing Last Line: And cry, 'to battle!' | ||||||||
Elms in the meadow springing, Silken pennants swinging On tawny lances; The river dances... Ripple of mail rises To war; no surprise is The elms stand steady, Line of combat ready. Wave on wave surging, To the ramparts verging; The bent elms prattle And cry, 'To battle!' | Other Poems of Interest...A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 40 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN OF TREASON by MARCUS VALERIUS MARTIALIS THE FAMINE YEAR by JANE FRANCESCA WILDE SONNET by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH FOUR EPISTLES: MIRACLE AT THE FEAST OF PENTECOST: 4 by JOHN BYROM IF THAT HIGH WORLD by GEORGE GORDON BYRON |
