Explore "San Miniato" by Oscar Wilde on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
See, I have climbed the mountain side / Up to this holy house of God, / Where once that Angel-Painter trod / Who saw the heavens opened wide, / And throned upon the crescent moon / The Virginal white Queen of Grace --
Mary! could I but see thy face / Death could not come at all too soon.
O crowned by God with thorns and pain!
Mother of Christ! O mystic wife!
My heart is weary of this life / And over-sad to sing again.
O crowned by God with love and flame!
O crowned by Christ the Holy One!
O listen ere the searching sun / Show to the world my sin and shame.
