Lovell, Robert: Revolution - ZaunköniG - 25.06.2007 Revolution The cloudy blackness gathers over the sky Shadowing these realms with that portentous storm Ere long to burst, and haply to deform Fair nature's face: for indignation high Might hurl promiscuous vengeance with wild hand, And fear, with fierce precipitation throw Blind ruin wide: while hate with scowling brow Feigns patriot rage. - - - - - - - - - - - - -O Priestley! for thy wand, Or Franklin! thine, with calm expectant joy To tame the storm, and with mysterious force In viewless channel shape the lightning's course To purify creation, not destroy. So should fair order from the tempest rise And freedom's sun-beams gild unclouded skies. |
