FORGIVENESS, by AL-JAZIRI First Line: When abu amir pardoned me Last Line: Admits their souls to paradise. | |||
When Abu Amir pardoned me I marvelled at his clemency, Yet realised that it must soon Be followed by a greater boon. For similarly Allah, when He overlooks the sins of men To crown His bounty, in a trice Admits their souls to Paradise. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MOUNTAINEER AND POET by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING THESEUS by THOMAS STURGE MOORE THE NEWLY WEDDED by WINTHROP MACKWORTH PRAED THE GREEN ROADS by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS EPITHALAMIUM by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD FOR EVER AND EVERMORE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) |
