"Wycliffe"
Wycliffe is disinhumed, Yea, his dry bones to ashes are consumed And flung into the brook that travels near; Forthwith that ancient Voice which streams can hear Thus speaks (that Voice which walks upon the wind, Though seldom heard by busy human kind): As thou these ashes, little Brook! wilt bear Into the Avon—Avon to the tide Of Severn—Severn to the narrow seas— Into main ocean they,—this deed accurst, An emblem yields to friends and enemies, How the bold Teacher’s Doctrine sanctified By truth, shall spread throughout the world dispersed.
William Wordsworth
"And I will give him the morning star." (Revelation 2:28)
