Poem by Walter Savage Landor

Idle Words

They say that every idle word
Is numbered by the Omniscient Lord.
O Parliament! 'tis well that He
Endureth for Eternity,
And that a thousand Angels wait
To write them at thy inner gate.

1. Tell Me Not Things Past All Belief
2. The Poet Who Sleeps
3. She I Love
4. Various the Roads of Life; in One
5. Death Stands above Me, Whispering Low
