Explore "You Were Stay'd" by Herbert Trench on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
You were stay'd in heart on heaven, / I by none but you forgiven, -- / You unto your Light are taken, / I of all, in you, forsaken.
Where the night is never broken / Where for long no speech hath spoken, / There the ears no longer hearken, / There the eyeballs wane and darken.
Yet at hours my soul -- so bounded -- / By that gloom like blood surrounded -- / Sees in ancient daylight burning -- / Hears departed feet returning.
