Samuel Taylor Coleridge - Sonnet XV. To SchillerSamuel Taylor Coleridge - Sonnet XV. To Schiller
Work rating: Low


Schiller! that hour I would have wished to die,   If thro` the shudd`ring midnight I had sent   From the dark Dungeon of the Tower time-rent That fearful voice, a famished Father`s cry-- That in no after moment aught less vast   Might stamp  me mortal! A triumphant shout   Black Horror screamed, and all her goblin rout From the more with`ring scene diminished past. Ah! Bard tremendous in sublimity!   Could I behold thee in thy loftier mood,   Wand`ring at eve with finely frenzied eye Beneath some vast old tempest-swinging wood! Awhile with mute awe gazing I would brood,   Then weep aloud in a wild ecstasy!
