- | |
- | |
A spirit passed before me I beheld | B |
The face of immortality unveiled | B |
Deep sleep came down on every eye save mine | C |
And there it stood all formless but divine | C |
Along my bones the creeping flesh did quake | D |
And as my damp hair stiffened thus it spake | D |
- | |
Is man more just than God Is man more pure | E |
Than He who deems even Seraphs insecure | F |
Creatures of clay vain dwellers in the dust | B |
The moth survives you and are ye more just | B |
Things of a day you wither ere the night | B |
Heedless and blind to Wisdom's wasted light | B |
George Gordon Lord Byron
