The Oxford Book of Christian Verse
The Oxford Book of Christian Verse
O, oh, ah, ah me!
Wand’ring, ling’ring, confin’d, lock’d, undiscover’d
Own’d, enthron’d, flow’ring, and perplex’d
Tho’, fetter’d, hallow’d, spread’st, leav’st,
vouchsaf’st, ‘midst
Th’eternal, th’unwearied, t’express, pass’d
Slipp’ry, congeal’d, ‘twere, ev’ry, hurl’d, triumph’d
‘Twas, sinn’d, cleans’d, ‘bove, astonish’d, t’expire,
bid’st, o’er
Scatter’d, hugg’d, bow’d, summ’d, e’er, fill’d,
disappear’d
Bow’r, flourish’d, heav’n, anger’d, dissol’vd,
wither’d, stain’d
Hark!
O antic scriv’ner, huddled in your cowl
Coulds’t I purchase a gross or two of vow’l?
