Religion

XXVI

by Algernon Charles Swinburne 1837–1909

From Poems & Ballads (Second Series)

Religion

And one light risen since theirs to run such race
Thou hast seen, O Phosphor, from thy pride of place.
Thou hast seen Shelley, him that was to thee
As light to fire or dawn to lightning; me,
Me likewise, O our brother, shalt thou see,
And I behold thee, face to glorious face?
