Thomas Chatterton versuri

Versuri Dante Gabriel Rossetti – Thomas Chatterton lyrics

With Shakespeare` s manhood at a boy` s wild heart, –
Through Hamlet` s doubt to Shakespeare near allied,
And kin to Milton through his Satan` s pride, –
At Death` s sole door he stooped, and craved a dart;
And to the dear new bower of England` s art, –
Even to that shrine Time else had deified,
The unuttered heart that soared against his side, –
Drove the fell point, and smote life`s seals apart.

Thy nested home-loves, noble Chatterton;
The angel-trodden stair thy soul could trace
Up Redcliff`s spire; and in the world` s armed space
Thy gallant sword-play: – these to many an one
Are sweet for ever; as thy grave unknown
And love-dream of thine unrecorded face.
