But while the universe is wrapt in fire, Ere yet the splendid ruin shall expire, Beneath a canopy of flame behold, With starry banners at his feet unroll'd, Earth's Judge: around seraphic minstrels throng, Breathing o'er golden harps celestial eong ; While melodies aerial and sublime Weave a wild death-dirge o'er departing Time.
Página 106 - Go, child of darkness, see a Christian die ; No horror pales his lip, or rolls his eye ; No dreadful doubts, or dreamy terrors, start The hope Religion pillows on his heart, When with a dying hand he waves adieu To all who love so well, and weep so true : Meek as an infant to the mother's breast Turns fondly longing for its wonted rest, He pants for where congenial spirits stray, Turns to his God, and sighs his soul away.
