Safe in their Alabaster Chambers-
Untouched my Morning
And untouched by Noon-
Sleep the meek members of the Resurrection-
Rafter of satin,
And Roof of stone.
Light laughs the breeze
In her Castle above them-
Babbles the Bee in a stolid Ear,
Pipe the Sweet Birds in ignorant cadence-
Ah, what sagacity perished here!
version of 1859
Safe in their Alabaster Chambers-
Untouched by Morning-
And untouched by Noon-
Lie the meek members of the Resurrection-
Rafter of Satin-and Roof of Stone!
Grand go the Years-in the Crescent-above them-
Worlds scoop their Arcs-
And Firmaments-row-
Diadems-drop-and Doges-surrender-
Soundless as dots-on a Disc of Snow-
version of 1861
