| "Wycliffe" Wycliffe is disinhumed, Yea, his dry bones to ashes are consumed
 And flung into the brook that travels near;
 Forthwith that ancient Voice which streams can hear
 Thus speaks (that Voice which walks upon the wind,
 Though seldom heard by busy human kind):
 As thou these ashes, little Brook! wilt bear
 Into the Avon—Avon to the tide
 Of Severn—Severn to the narrow seas—
 Into main ocean they,—this deed accurst,
 An emblem yields to friends and enemies,
 How the bold Teacher’s Doctrine sanctified
 By truth, shall spread throughout the world dispersed.
 William Wordsworth "And I will give him the morning star." (Revelation 2:28) |
