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

English.png English text Holy Sonnet No. VII

At the round earth's imagined corners
blow your trumpets, angels
and arise from death
you numberless infinities of souls
and to your scattered 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.
