Think not that stream will backward flow,\n \u00a0\u00a0Or cease its destined course to keep;\n As soon the blazing spark shall glow\n \u00a0\u00a0Beneath the surface of the deep. Believe not Fate, at thy command,\n \u00a0\u00a0Will grant a meed she never gave;\n As soon the airy tower shall stand\n \u00a0\u00a0That's built upon a passing wave.","tags":[],"text":null,"title":"Arabian Poetry: Shorter Pieces of Arabian Poetry: On the Death of a Son, By Ali Ben Mohammed Altahmany","tradition":"Texts of Islam","translated_text":null,"word_count":115}
