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.
