Past are those hours ! Along the silent dews His lonely walk no more the sage pursues ; With gestures wild, rude garb, and speaking eye, An air of strange and dreadful majesty, 298 THE VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS. See ! forth he comes, bis holy office given, Herald of Christ, high harbinger of Hcav'n. Hark ! how the rocks his warning voice resound, And Jordan's caverns tell the strain around ; While poor and rich, the soldier and the sage, The bloom of youth, and hoary locks of age, In gathering cr...owds, Messiah's name adore, And rush, all trembling, to the sacred shore. How changed the scene ! Are these the realms of dread, Which wand'ring footsteps scarcely dared to tread ? Where midnight lions roam'd the forests rude, And all was wild and frightful solitude ? Now, lone no more, where'er it winds along, The lucid stream reflects a listening throng ; True to the life their grouping shadows glide, And cv'ry passion paints the breathing tide. Sec ! young Amazement starting, as if light, Just glanced from Heaven, had caught his dazzled sight, While Faith's full eyes their tranquil homage raise, And cv'ry feature fixes into praise.
