From the deserts of burning sand they speed, Where the Lions roani and the Serpents breed, Far over the sea, away, away ! And they darken the sun at noon of day. Like Eden the land before them they find, But they leave it a desolate waste behind. The peasant grows ]iale when he sees them come. And standeth before them weak and dumb ; For tliey come like a raging fire in power, Antl eat up a havest in half an hour ; And the trees are bare, and the land is brown. As if trampled and trod by an arm...y down. There is terror in every monarch's eye, When he hears that this terrible foe is nigh ; For he knows that the might of an armed host Cannot drive the spoilers from out his coast. That terror and famine his land await. And from north to south 'twill be desolate. Tluis, the ravening locust is strong and grim ; And what were an armed man to him ? Fire turneth him not, nor sea prevents. He is stronger by far than the elements ! The broad green earth is his jjrostrate proy, And he darkens the sun at the noon of the day.
