THE WARRIOR From the Arabic.
George Borrow translation
Thou lov’st to look on myrtles green, And the narcissus bright of hue; I love the blaze of sabres keen, I love the dagger’s flash to view.
Thou, thou may’st drink the rosy wine From golden goblets sculptured o’er; From foemen’s skulls the joy be mine To drink my foemen’s reeking gore.
