23
MIDNIGHT.
A flood of darkness overwhelms the land;
And all that God had planned,
Of loveliness beneath the noonday skies,
A dream o'ershadowed lies.
And all that God had planned,
Of loveliness beneath the noonday skies,
A dream o'ershadowed lies.
Amid the universal darkness deep,
Only the Isles of Sleep,
As did the dwellings of the Israelite
In Egypt, stem the night.
Only the Isles of Sleep,
As did the dwellings of the Israelite
In Egypt, stem the night.
