Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Augustan Books of Modern Poetry Stephen, clerk of Oxford town, Oh, the weary while he lies, Wrapt in his old college gown, Burning, burning, till he dies! And ´tis very surely said, He shall burn when he is dead, All aflame from foot to head. Stephen said he knew a rose, One and two, yea, roses three, Lovelier far than any those Which at service-time we see - Emblems of atonement done, And of Christ´s beloved One, And of Mary´s mystic Son. Stephen said his roses grew All upon a milk-white stem; Side by side together two, One a little up from them, Sweeter than the rose´s breath, Rosy as the sun riseth, Warm beside - that was his death. Stephen swore, as God knows well, Just to touch the topmost bud, He would give his soul to hell - Soul and body, bones and blood; Hell has come before he dies, Burning, burning, there he lies, And he neither speaks nor cries.
