William Wordsworth - "Brave Schill! By Death Delivered"
Work rating: Low

BRAVE Schill! by death delivered, take thy flight
From Prussia`s timid region. Go, and rest
With heroes, `mid the islands of the Blest,
Or in the fields of empyrean light.
A meteor wert thou crossing a dark night:
Yet shall thy name, conspicuous and sublime,
Stand in the spacious firmament of time,
Fixed as a star: such glory is thy right.
Alas! it may not be: for earthly fame
Is Fortune`s frail dependant; yet there lives               
A Judge, who, as man claims by merit, gives;
To whose all-pondering mind a noble aim,
Faithfully kept, is as a noble deed;
In whose pure sight all virtue doth succeed.
