THE EXILE'S COMPLAINT.
I
Ah, woe is me! constrain'd to dwellIn Mesech's dark abode;
With Kedar's tents, like Moloch's cell,
Remote from Israel's God.
51
II
No more the Charmer's voice I hear,Nor Zion's temple see;
No more her songs delight my ear,
With sacred melody.
III
How long, my God, how long shall IBe banish'd thus from home?
O hear thy exile's mournful cry,
And, at my crying, come.
