Mesîhî

Mesihi, born at Pristina near Skopje, is held by Gibb to be a poet of high merit whose strength, like Lami'i's, lay in elegant descriptions of the beauties of nature.

The poems here are taken from E. J. W. Gibb's Ottoman Poems (1882), the first English verse translations of Ottoman poetry; dates and biographical details follow Gibb's Biographical Notices.
