Dante Gabriel Rossetti - At The Sun-Rise In 1848
Work rating: Low

God said, Let there be light; and there was light. 
Then heard we sounds as though the Earth did sing 
And the Earth`s angel cried upon the wing: 
We saw priests fall together and turn white: 
And covered in the dust from the sun`s sight, 
A king was spied, and yet another king. 
We said: “The round world keeps its balancing;
On this globe, they and we are opposite,—
If it is day with us, with them `tis night.”
Still, Man, in thy just pride, remember this:— 
Thou hadst not made that thy sons` sons shall ask
What the word king may mean in their day`s task, 
But for the light that led: and if light is, 
It is because God said, Let there be light.
