Explore "Death and Birth" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
'Tis the midnight hour; I heard / The Abbey-bell give out the word.
Seldom is the lamp-ray shed / On some dwarfed foot-farer's head / In the deep and narrow street / Lying ditch-like at my feet / Where I stand at lattice high / Downward gazing listlessly / From my house upon the rock, / Peak of earth's foundation-block.
