Vision And Other Poems Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Vision, and Other Poems A thousand years are as a day; Two thousand years have passed away - Again the vision comes to me, A great crowd of humanity, - The synagogue, the house of prayer, The Son of Man is preaching there! The mystery of sacred places, The beauty of gigantic spaces, The vast and gorgeous house the Jew Had builded for the God he knew, The God of battle and of wrath Who scattered nations in His path But to whose furies would suffice The piteous blood of sacrifice! The altar that an ancient race Had consecrated in that place, The jewels of the altar gleam As through an Oriental dream, And like the soft call of a dream The sweet voice of the Nazarene.
