| John Donne (1572–1631). The Poems of John Donne. 1896. | | | | Divine Poems | | 6. Resurrection |
| | | Moist with one drop of Thy blood, my dry soul | |
| Shall—though she now be in extreme degree | |
| Too stony hard, and yet too fleshly—be | |
| Freed by that drop, from being starved, hard or foul, | |
| And life by this death abled shall control | 5 |
| Death, whom Thy death slew; nor shall to me | |
| Fear of first or last death bring misery, | |
| If in Thy life-book 1 my name thou enroll. | |
| Flesh in that long sleep is not putrified, | |
| But made that there, of which, and for which it was; | 10 |
| Nor can by other means be glorified. 2 | |
| May then sin’s sleep and death soon from me pass, | |
| That waked from both, I again risen may | |
| Salute the last and everlasting day. | |
