Church, Hubert: Lowry Bay - ZaunköniG - 15.07.2007 Lowry Bay I am not here alone. A hidden throng Is round me in the vesper of the sky. Dead Babylon and Nineveh are nigh; Rome, Antioch; the slave who felt the thong; The lord that slew him when the day was long And the soul heavy with satiety. And some are near who saw the Christ go by; While Pilate shut aloof, at gaze with wrong. And what are they these ministers surround? The cliff, the sand, the island at my feet Reef-scattered far below all human ken. Lo! God hath made a mighty angel beat His wings, a benediction in their sound, Above the roof of the most forlorn of men. |
