Fifth edition, containing many pieces now first collected

And fulfilled.

Thus far they sung, and at once a shout

Pealed upward loud and clear;
For lo, the vessel onward ran
With never a hand to steer;

And full in sight that Promise-hill
Towered up into the sky,
Most like to Tabor's holy mount
Of vision blest and high.
