PROPHECY.

By Vesta N. Cudworth

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy.” 2 Peter, i, 12.
THE Scriptures span the vast outline From Eden's flower-gemmed shore, To where the bliss of a fadeless clime Is measured by time no more. Where the green palm tree lifts its head O'er lands redeemed by blood, And streams, like a silvery moonbeam, thread The Paradise of God.
Earth's not mentioned, and man forgot; With pens of living light The prophets have pictured the princely lot Of the heir, with a home so bright. Aye, pilgrim, lift thy tear-dimm'd eyes, For a “golden age” shall dawn; Thou shalt bask 'neath the light of its rosy skies, In the bliss of that glorious morn.
