Explore "The Crown" by George William Russell on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I wore in joy a radiant star; / Its rays flew forth into the night; / It made them glad who watched afar, / And filled their gloom with happy light.
Their eyes no more the light may win, / And all the loves are changed to scorns.
The rays of light pierce deep within, / The star is now my crown of thorns.
