TENTH ANTIPHONE

24 lines
Algernon Charles Swinburne·1837–1909
✦
n our sorrow we said to the night,Fall down and cover us;To the darkness at left and at right,Be thou shed over us;We had breaking of spirit to motherAnd cursing to bride;And one was slain, and anotherStood up at our side. We could not arise by day,Nor lie down by night;Thy sword was sharp in our way,Thy word in our sight;The delight of our eyelids was madeAs the burning of fire;And our souls became sorely afraidFor our soul's desire. We whom the world loved well,Laying silver and gold on us,The kingdom of death and of hellRiseth up to take hold on us;Our gold is turned to a token,Our staff to a rod;Yet shalt thou bind them up that were broken,O Lord our God.
