Leave It to Swinburne

Despite the brash, rebellious verses of his youth, the Victorian poet A.C. Swinburne wrote some deeply felt poetry touching on spiritual themes. Here is a lovely, beautifully written poem on the Soul (using the voice of the Teutonic earth goddess, Hertha), in text and as read by one of my favorite volunteer readers for LibriVox.org, Kristin Hughes.
