Excerpt from The Poems of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Vol. 2 of 3
As earth was once, - first breathed among the stars, Articulate glory from the mouth divine, To which the myriad spheres thrilled audihl y Touched like a lute-string, - and the sons of God Said amen, singing it. I know that this Is earth not new created but new cursed This, Eden's gate not opened but built up With a final cloud of sunset. Do I dream? Alas, not so! This is the Eden lost 13y Lucifer the serpent! This the sword (this sword alive with justice and with fire!) That smote upon the forehead, Lucifer The angel! Wherefore, angel, go depart Enough is sinned and suffered.
