Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - Natalia’s Resurrection: Sonnet XI
Work rating: Low

So in his agony at noon he came,
 On the third day, to where without the walls
 Stood San Lorenzo with its front of flame,
 Where mourners wait the accustomed funerals.
 Here to a cypress having tied his steed,
 He lighted down sore weary on the grass,
 Seeking such comfort for his body`s need
 As rest could lend till the day`s heat should pass
 And no man stopped him, either friend or foe
 Or knight or citizen or friar or priest;
 Nor sought he more companionship of woe
 Than the dumb presence of his jaded beast.
 There, hidden in the shade where he had crept,
 Adrian o`erspent with sorrow soundly slept.
