Around the throat he knotted me
Till I to choke began -

O for a sculptor's hand,
That thou might'st take thy stand,
Thy wild hair floating on the eastern breeze,

Fixed on the desert haze,
As one who deep in heaven some airy pageant sees.

The word of Christ, our Lord,
With whom we have to do;

Pull droopingly, in slanting curve aside,

Hover over full-blown roses.

On St. Bavon's tower, commanding
Half of Flanders, his domain,
Charles the Emperor once was standing,
While beneath him on the landing
Stood Duke Alva and his train.

"What shall little children bring
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
