If Christ prepares another John to say,
Ye cold and stubborn! is the only way
A Second Coming and a Second Loss,
Redeeming thus the failure of the Cross?
Ye cold and stubborn! is the only way
A Second Coming and a Second Loss,
Redeeming thus the failure of the Cross?
Shall not His lovers answer?—Stricken Lord,
Where doves were sold, Thy Bishops bless the sword.
Come down and make us what we should have been,
Thy only Westminster the Village Green.
Where doves were sold, Thy Bishops bless the sword.
Come down and make us what we should have been,
Thy only Westminster the Village Green.
