ROMAN ACROSTIC
[Glevum = Roman name for Gloucester]
G o softly, tired Pilgrim, drift out of the light:
L et darkness enfold you, greet gently the night.
E ven the shadows merge noiseless away,
V ast nothingness wraps you, no spectre will stay.
U ntil there comes rising, to banish the dark,
M orning’s anthem to wake you: the song of the lark.
