The Holy Sonnets of John Donne, Op. 35: Sonnet VII: At the round earth's imagin'd corners - Steuart Bedford, Philip Langridge, Бенджамин Бриттен

At the round earth’s imagined corners, blow

Your trumpets, angels, and arise

From death, you numberless infinities

Of souls, and to your scattered bodies go

All whom the flood did, and fire shall o’erthrow

All whom war, death, age, agues, tyrannies

Despair, law, chance hath slain;

and you whose eyes

Shall behold God and never taste death’s woe

But let them sleep, Lord, and me mourn a space

For, if above all these my sins abound

'Tis late to ask abundance of Thy grace

When we are there.

Here on this lowly ground

Teach me how to repent, for that’s as good

As if Thou hadst seal’d my pardon with Thy blood
