Songs of Farewell: V. At the Round Earth's Imagine Corners

At the round earth's imagined corners, blow
Your trumpets, angels, and arise
From death, you numberless infinities
Of souls, and to your scatter'd bodies go,
All whom the flood did, and fire shall overthrow
All whom war, death, age, agues, tyrannies,
Despair, law, chance hath slain and you whose eyes
Shall behold God and never taste death's woe.
But let them sleep, Lord, and me mourn a space,
For, if above all these my sins abound,
'Tis late to ask abundance of thy grace,
When we are there. Here on this lowly ground,
Teach me how to repent for that's as good
As if thou'dst sealed my pardon with thy blood.
