The Last Sigh of the Moor is a poem written by George Hughes and first published in 1829. The poem tells the story of the last Moorish king of Granada, Boabdil, as he is forced to surrender his kingdom to the Christian conquerors in 1492. The poem is divided into four parts, each representing a different stage of Boabdil’s journey from his palace to the city gates, where he will hand over the keys to his kingdom. The first part of the poem describes Boabdil’s departure from his palace, accompanied by his family and courtiers. He is filled with sorrow and regret as he looks back at his beloved city for the last time. The second part of the poem describes Boabdil’s journey through the streets of Granada, where he is met with the jeers and insults of the Christian conquerors. The third part of the poem takes place at the city gates, where Boabdil hands over the keys to his kingdom to the Christian conquerors. He is filled with bitterness and anger as he realizes that he has lost everything he holds dear. The final part of the poem describes Boabdil’s journey into exile, where he is haunted by the memory of his lost kingdom and the betrayal of his own people. Throughout the poem, Hughes uses vivid imagery and powerful language to capture the emotions of Boabdil and the people of Granada. The Last Sigh of the Moor is a poignant and powerful work that explores themes of loss, betrayal, and the struggle for identity in a changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
