Mood of the Assyrian

Gregory De Feo


"I hear a rhyme I must not pass
Though begun it had in ancient tongues,
(Shall all be o'er 'fore time's last sun);
When I accused may share the fate
Of they I'd vexed; shall vex they twice:
The hoard of Gogs, and they shall
Rage and rage too at your 'Holy One.'

On they death's shroud if I had lain
Pierce not--high he to undertake.
I too not lie, not still as they
Who raged, rage still, and to their day
When they be done--is why I sing:
Are not my captains rather kings?"
