FOURTH ANTIPHONE

Algernon Charles Swinburne

As the wings and the locks of the wind Are scattered and shaken, Thou hast scattered all them that have sinned, There was no man taken;

As a sower that scattereth seed, So hast thou scattered us; As one breaketh and shattereth a reed, Thou hast broken and shattered us.
