saw, as in dream sublime, 90


The balance in The hand of time,


Ger East and West It's beam impendcd,


And day, with all It's hou,s of light


Was slowly sinking out OF sight,


While opposite, the scale of night


Silently with the stars ascended.


Like the astroloeer Of old,


In that bright vision beheld


Greater and deeper mysteries.


saw, with It's celestial KEYS,


It's chords OF air, its frets Of fire,


The Samian's great Eolian lyre,


Rising through all It's seven-fold bars.


From earth unto the fixed stars.
And through the dewy atmosphere,


Not only cculd see, but hear,


Its wondrouS and harmoniou, strings.


In sweet vibration. sphere by sphere,
From Dian'S circle light and near,


Onward to vasier and wider rings.


Where chanting through his beard of SHOWS
Majestic, mouniul Saturn goes,


And down the sunless realms Of space
Reyerberates the thunder Of his bass,
Beneath the Sky'S trumphal arch


ms music sounded like march,


And, with ITS chorus, seemed TO be


Preludlng some great tragedy.

Ana on his arm the lions hide

Then palid rose the moon and faint,

oerenely moving on her way,
In hours of trial and dismav.
AS II she heard the voice Of God.
Unharmed, with naked feet she ,rod
Upon The hot and burning stars
As on the glowing Goals ana bars.

Her Holiness and her purity.

Aghast he stood in strange alarm.
