Here's my Coleridge poem:
Coleridge
'Stop, Christian passer-by!-Stop, child of God!'
You made your epitaph imperative,
And stopped this wedding guest! But I am glad
To stop with you and start again, to live
From that pure source, the all-renewing stream,
Whose living power is imagination,
And know myself a child of the I AM,
Open and loving to his whole creation.
Your glittering eye taught mine to pierce the veil,
To let His light transfigure all my seeing,
To serve the shaping Spirit whom I feel,
And make with Him the poem of my being
I follow where you sail towards our haven,
Your wide wake lit with glimmerings of heaven.
