The New Earth

By J. EDGAR ROSS

J. EDGAR ROSS
The glory of Lebanon shall be there, The fir-tree, the box, and the pine; With rushes and reeds in the dragon’s lair, Planted by hand divine.
Springs shall leap from the thirsty ground; To water the rose, while a gladsome song Makes the desert place resound.
The people shall not sigh nor weep, But in safety all shall dwell; In the great wide woods if they choose to sleep, They shall fear no evil spell; For God himself shall be with them there, To answer ’before they call, To hear ere they breathe a prayer.
They’ll fear no terror of the night, No arrow that flies by day; For in that mount of pure delight They shall neither hurt nor slay. But there will all the ransomed sing, “O grave, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?”
Healdsburg, Cal.
