Walter Savage Landor
On Man
In his own image the Creator made
His own pure sunbeam quicken’d thee, O man!
Thou breathing dial! Since thy day began
The present hour was ever markt with shade!
Walter Savage Landor
Mensch
Der Schöpfer machte dich, treu seinem Bild,
Sein eig’ner Sonnenstrahl belebte dich,
Du Atmender! Doch ward nun, umfänglich,
Schattend jedwede Gegenwart verhüllt!
