RALEIGH'S CELL IN THE TOWER - ZaunköniG - 10.06.2007 RALEIGH'S CELL IN THE TOWER HERE writ was the World's History by his hand Whose steps knew all the earth; albeit his world In these few piteous paces then was furl'd. Here daily, hourly, have his proud feet spann'd This smaller speck than the receding land Had ever shown his ships; what time he hurl'd Abroad o'er new-found regions spiced and pearl'd His country's high dominion and command. Here dwelt two spheres. The vast terrestrial zone His spirit traversed; and that spirit was Itself the zone celestial, round whose birth The planets played within the zodiac's girth; Till hence, through unjust death unfeared, did pass His spirit to the only land unknown. |
