I saw a Chapel all of Gold

字號:


     I saw a Chapel all of gold
     That none did dare to enter in,
     And many weeping stood without,
     Weeping, mourning, worshipping.
     I saw a Serpent rise between
     The white pillars of the door,
     And he forc'd and forc'd and forc'd;
     Down the golden hinges tore,
     And along the pavement sweet,
     Set with pearls and rubies bright,
     All his shining length he drew,
     Till upon the altar white
     Vomiting his poison out
     On the Bread and on the Wine.
     So I turn'd into a sty,
     And laid me down among the swine.
