John spread his hands,

And cried, with eyes upraised to heaven, Oh! stay,

Visions of bliss! I am bowed down with age,

Forlorn on earth, and I have tarried long

Alone and sad. Oh! come, Lord Jesus Christ!

A voice replied, Thou shalt be where he is!

Hark! 'twas the billow beating on the rocks

Of melancholy Patmos, and John wept,

As, slowly fading, like a summer dream,

He saw the towers, and gates, and palaces,

Of New Jerusalem fade in the clouds

Of eve, which shot its gleaming pinnacles

Aloft in the pale sky, and flushed the track

Of the sun's westering orb with crimson light.

As the sun sunk, the sound of trump and horn

Shrilled, and the old man, starting from his trance,

Beheld below the cave the Roman troop,

Stationed to guard the island criminals,

Wind slow, in martial file, with banners spread,

Returning to their tents.
