To Milton
by Oscar Wilde

Read by Sean Barrett


MILTON! I think thy spirit hath passed away From these white cliffs, and high-embattled towers; This gorgeous fiery-coloured world of ours
Seems fallen into ashes dull and grey,
And the age changed unto a mimic play 5
Wherein we waste our else too-crowded hours: For all our pomp and pageantry and powers
We are but fit to delve the common clay,
Seeing this little isle on which we stand, This England, this sea-lion of the sea, 10
By ignorant demagogues is held in fee,
Who love her not: Dear God! is this the land Which bare a triple empire in her hand When Cromwell spake the word Democracy!
