No rays from the holy heaven come down |
|
on the long night time of that town |
|
But light from out the lurid sea |
|
streams up the turrets silently |
|
Gleams up the pinnacles far and free |
|
gleams up the pinnacles far and free |
|
Up domes - up spires - up kingly halls |
|
up fanes - up babylon - like walls |
|
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers |
|
up sculptured ivy and stone flowers |
|
up shadowy long-forgotten bowers |
|
up sculptured ivy and stone flowers |
|
Up many and many a marvellous shrine |
|
whose wreathed friezes interwine |
|
the viol, the violet and the vine |
|
the viol, the violet and the vine |
|
