The sun was setting on Jerusalem,

Like molten silver. Everything was fair;
And beauty hung upon the painted fanes;
Like grieved spirit, lingering ere she gave

And left no trace upon the busy .hrong.

OF Joyous revelry, and The low hum
OF stirring thousands rose as constantly!
Life look'd as winning: and the earth and sky,
And everything, seem'd strangely bent TO make
A conuas, TO that comment upon life.
How wonderful il is that human pride
Can pass ,ha, touching moral as it does

OF mcurnful and most simple eloquence-
And learn no lesson! They bore on the dead,

And knell beside him al the sepulchrs
Where Jesus slept. TO pray for Israel.
They had one spirit. and their hearts were knit
With more Than human love. God call'd him

And he Of whom speak stood up alone,
And in his Observation-Disclosures wrought on
Until his Master cali'd him.
