BATTLE, by AL-TUTILI First Line: Bright as moon serenely burning Last Line: Halo, circled him about. | ||||||||

As I saw the lances gleaming Round his brow, I was in doubt If a forest, or a beaming Halo, circled him about. | Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: ALEXANDER THROCKMORTON by EDGAR LEE MASTERS PARASITICS: TO CERTAIN POETS by CONRAD AIKEN PROSIT NEUJAHR by GEORGE SANTAYANA TO MARY IN HEAVEN by ROBERT BURNS |
