The sailor reeling from out the shipsWhose masts stood thick in the river-slipsFelt the jest and the curse die on his lips. Listened the fisherman rude and hard, The calker rough from the builder's yard;The man of the market left his load, The teamster leaned on his bending goad, The maiden, and youth beside her, feltTheir hearts in a closer union melt, And saw the flowers of their love in bloomDown the endless vistas of life to come. Old age sat feebly brushing awayFrom his ears the scanty loc...ks of gray;And careless boyhood, living the freeUnconscious life of bird and tree, Suddenly wakened to a senseOf sin and its guilty consequence. It was as if an angel's voiceCalled the listeners up for their final choice;As if a strong hand rent apartThe veils of sense from soul and heart, Showing in light ineffableThe joys of heaven and woes of hellAll about in the misty airThe hills seemed kneeling in silent prayer;The rustle of leaves, the moaning sedge, The water's lap on its gravelled edge, The wailing pines, and, far and faint, The wood-dove's note of sad complaint, --To the solemn voice of the preacher lentAn undertone as of low lament;And the note of the sea from its sand coast, On the easterly wind, now heard, now lost, Seemed the murmurous sound of the judgment host.
