CHRIST, She is coming, Lead her gently into heaven. Lord Isfrael, Sing you the moon into a jewel for her, Make you the universe into her bed. God, Set you Lord Gabriel for a candle Shining at her head, And Lord Michael For a lamp before her feet. Mary, Smooth her gown, Sweetly, As you would a child's. Oh Christ, Hearkening to prayers, Hear me, Praying desolate. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HE HAD HIS DREAM by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR CHAMBER MUSIC: 36 by JAMES JOYCE THE LAY OF THE LOVELORN; PARODY OF TENNYSON'S 'LOCKSLEY HALL' by THEODORE MARTIN SUMMER NIGHT, RIVERSIDE by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS THE ACHARNIANS: A PLEA FOR THE ENEMY by ARISTOPHANES |
