john milton: from 'paradise lost' - pauline letts & john glen lyrics lyrics

whence thou returnst, and whither wentst, i know;
for god is also in sleep, and dreams advise
which he hath sent propitious, some great good
presaging, since with sorrow and hearts distress
wearied i fell asleep: but now lead on;
in mee is no delay; with thee to goe
is to stay here; without thee here to stay
is to go hence unwilling; thou to mee
art all things under heav’n, all places thou
who for my wilful crime art banisht hence
this further consolation yet secure
i carry hence; though all by mee is lost
such favour i unworthie am voutsaft
by mee the promis’d seed shall all restorе

so spake our mother eve, and adam hеard
well pleas’d, but answer’d not; for now too nigh
th’ archangel stood, and from the other hill
to thir fixt station, all in bright array
the cherubim descended; on the ground
gliding meteorous, as ev’ning mist
ris’n from a river o’re the marish glides
and gathers ground fast at the labourers heel
homeward returning. high in front advanc’t
the brandisht sword of god before them blaz’d
fierce as a comet; which with torrid heat
and vapour as the libyan air adust
began to parch that temperate clime; whereat
in either hand the hastning angel caught
our lingring parents, and to th’ eastern gate
led them direct, and down the cliff as fast
to the subjected plaine; then disappeer’d
they looking back, all th’ eastern side beheld
of paradise, so late thir happie seat
wav’d over by that flaming brand, the gate
with dreadful faces throng’d and fierie armes:
som natural tears they drop’d, but wip’d them soon;
the world was all before them, where to choose
thir place of rest, and providence thir guide:
they hand in hand with wandring steps and slow
through eden took thir solitarie way
