[Coeli Enarrant]

The stars that wont to start, as on a chace,
Mid twinkling insult on Heaven's darken'd face,
Like a conven'd conspiracy of spies
Wink at each other with confiding eyes!
Turn from the portent--all is blank on high,
No constellations alphabet the sky:
The Heavens one large Black Letter only shew,
And as a child beneath its master's blow
Shrills out at once its task and its affright--
The groaning world now learns to read aright,
And with its Voice of Voices cries out, O!

[The end]
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem: [Coeli Enarrant]
