A poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Fragment: Pater Omnipotens

________________________________________________
Title:     Fragment: Pater Omnipotens
Author: Percy Bysshe Shelley [More Titles by Shelley]

Serene in his unconquerable might
Endued[,] the Almighty King, his steadfast throne
Encompassed unapproachably with power
And darkness and deep solitude an awe
Stood like a black cloud on some aery cliff
Embosoming its lightning--in his sight
Unnumbered glorious spirits trembling stood
Like slaves before their Lord--prostrate around
Heaven's multitudes hymned everlasting praise.





[The end]
Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem: Fragment: Pater Omnipotens
