Or go sadly down to eternal fires, And everlasting Death. As we select beyond the Pearly gates Or join that endless throng. Where Satan rules supreme. 47 LOST I heard a voice from out Eternity, Echoing down the silent vista of years, In accents dim, disconsolate and free. With a maddened glare I gazed through bitter tears. I saw a dim, weird specter wrapped in white, Beckoning to me to cross the silent wave. I felt the chilling frosts of Death's cold blight, And 'round me fell the darkness of t...he grave. The black and angry billows 'round me lashed. I heard the tolling of the gurgling knell. My frail bark on the waves then madly dashed. I said then — ^Tell me. Specter, is this Hell? I listened to the weeping of the lost, The hopeless wail and gnashing then of teeth. My poor soul then in glaring flame was tossed. Where I, throughout all time, must groan and writhe He drew his bloody dagger from my heart. He then rose slowly from the silent strife. His grinning skeleton echoed "Thou are Lost" Go on thou Wretch.
