Above my dream, with arch of dreaded wings,

In judgement and in sentence of what crime

I know not, sate the gods outcast of time.

They passed, and lo! a plague of darkness fell,

Unsleeping, and accurst with nameless things,

And dreams that stood the ministers of hell.

Satan Unrepentant

Lost from those archangelic thrones that star,

Fadeless and fixed, heav'n's light of azure bliss;

Rejected of His splendour, and depressed

Beyond the birth of the first sun, and lower

Than the last star's decline, I here endure,

Abased, majestic, fallen, beautiful,

And unregretful in the doubted dark,

Throneless, that greatens Chaos-ward, albeit

From chanting stars that throng the nave of night,

Lost echoes wander here, and of His praise,

With ringing moons for cymbals, dinned afar

And shouted from the flaming mouths of suns.
