Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Thomas ChattertonDante Gabriel Rossetti - Thomas Chatterton
Work rating: Low


WITH Shakspeare`s manhood at a boy`s wild heart,— Through Hamlet`s doubt to Shakspeare near allied, And kin to Milton through his Satan`s pride,— At Death`s sole door he stooped, and craved a dart; And to the dear new bower of England`s art,— Even to that shrine Time else had deified, The unuttered heart that soared against his side,— Drove the fell point, and smote life`s seals apart. Thy nested home-loves, noble Chatterton; The angel-trodden stair thy soul could trace Up Redcliffe`s spire; and in the world`s armed space Thy gallant sword-play:—these to many an one Are sweet for ever; as thy grave unknown And love-dream of thine unrecorded face.
