Peter stands by the gate, <br />And Michael by the throne. <br />'Peter, I would pass the gate <br />And come before the throne.' <br />'Whose spirit prayed never at the gate <br />In life nor at the throne, <br />In death he may not pass the gate <br />To come before the throne:' <br />Peter said from the gate; <br />Said Michael from the throne.<br /><br />Adelaide Crapsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/doom-2/
