Oscar Wilde - Easter DayOscar Wilde - Easter Day
Work rating: Low


The silver trumpets rang across the Dome:     The people knelt upon the ground with awe:     And borne upon the necks of men I saw, Like some great God, the Holy Lord of Rome. Priest-like, he wore a robe more white than foam,     And, king-like, swathed himself in royal red,     Three crowns of gold rose high upon his head: In splendor and in light the Pope passed home. My heart stole back across wide wastes of years     To One who wandered by a lonely sea,     And sought in vain for any place of rest: "Foxes have holes, and every bird its nest,     I, only I, must wander wearily,     And bruise My feet, and drink wine salt with tears."
