Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Raleigh’s Cell In The Tower
Work rating: Low

HERE writ was the World`s History by his hand
Whose steps knew all the earth; albeit his world
In these few piteous paces then was furl`d.
Here daily, hourly, have his proud feet spann`d
This smaller speck than the receding land
Had ever shown his ships; what time he hurl`d
Abroad o`er new-found regions spiced and pearl`d
His country`s high dominion and command.
Here dwelt two spheres. The vast terrestrial zone
His spirit traversed; and that spirit was
Itself the zone celestial, round whose birth
The planets played within the zodiac`s girth;
Till hence, through unjust death unfeared, did pass
His spirit to the only land unknown.
