Doom

Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy (1844–1881)

IN either mood, to bless or curse

God bringeth forth the breath of man;

No angel sire, no woman nurse

Shall change the work that God began.

One spirit shall be like a star,

He shall delight to honour one:

Another spirit he shall mar:

None shall undo what God hath done.
