I stood upon a heaven‑cleaving turret
Language:
English
I stood upon a heaven-cleaving turret

Lay prostrate, and with parted lips did kiss
The dust of Desolations [altar] hearth --
And with a voice too faint to falter
It shook that trembling fane with its weak prayer
'Twas noon,--the sleeping skies were blue
The city
