A day of thick darkness, of gloom and of shower, Like clouds on the crest of the mountain which lower, For the mighty in battle, the proud and the strong. To quench all thy glories, are hast'ning along. Around them are flames, and behind them despair, In vain is resistance, in vain is the prayer, Before them the garden of F^den they find, Desolation and terror are blackening behind. Like the blast of the desert their chariots shall sweep On whirlwinds, which frown o'er the wide dashing deep, An...d the pride of Judaea their horses shall tame. With their hoofs of destruction, and nostrils of flame. ( ^66 ) Oh ! bright shine their arms, as the Gentiles press on, From Acra, and Carmel, and Mount Lebanon, And their chariots and horsemen shall scatter dismay On the hosts led against them in battle array. Oh ! where is the strength of the mighty in war, If the face of Jehovah be veil'd from afar ? Jerusalem, vanquish'd Jerusalem, mourn ! When, alas ! shall the light of thy glory return ? ( 267 ) THE SHIPWRECK.
