Yussouf

                                  - James Russell Lowell

  

                In the first stanza, A stranger comes to Youssouf's tent and he says that he has to fear of out caste. He says that as a one powerful thing....Life is bow and bent against them. He begs to help him as he is in need of food and shelter. There are no any place to hide himself so he came Youssouf's tent who is admired as good man by his tribesmen.

In the second stanza, the poet describes it very nobility. It describes the hospitability .Yussouf says that that tent is his but no long after time it is god and he can enter in tent and take the rest. A stranger man also use all thing of Yussouf which he uses in there as sharing. Only God is maker of the  World and different kind of people. Yussouf's tent is very big and royal roof of warm for whole day and night and nobody heard "No" in his doorstep who came with hope of help.

                The third stanza , describes the nature of Yussouf . Youssouf gave all kind of entertainment his guest during that night and then he offered the  gold , and was walking early morning , fastly horse which had saddled for fight. His guest takes anything  from Yussouf before leaving his tent because Yussouf believes that............

"As one lamp lights another , no grows less."

                So, and of the third stanza, we find the nobleness of Yussouf.

In the fourth stanza, stranger's  heart was melted because  Yussouf's hospitality. Stranger's inward light was shined suddenly himself and kneeing against Yussouf bowed head. He was sobbing very hard and said that.... he could not leave hm. Yussouf said that all kind of works had been done that time Ibrahim stranger said that......."He killed Yissouf's elder son"!

In the fifth stanza, Yussouf gave him thrice gold because in the way of desert, he could not get anything as easy and also never would return to tent. Yussouf said that his black thought should ride and away from him because still now from whole day and night he yearn for his first son.

                But ...all kind of orders are controlled by God and it was blanced , too. God's  wanted to his first born and sleep in peace,too!
