Edmund Burke - ZaunköniG - 11.04.2012 Edmund Burke As on marsh heavy with darkness drear, Across whose face of death the lure-lights play Like fiends that dance about a soul astray, The full moon rises in her splendour clear, And then the traveller flings away his fear, And through the quagmires makes his certain way, So when all evil held thy land in sway Thy glory dawned upon her darkest year. And now where'er be children of the Race To service vowed, yet foremost of the free By all the love thy brooding soul foresaw, Still glows thy memory, lit with deathless grace, And beckoning through the blackness men may see Thy vision of unutterable Law |
