lesned back in my chair, and dropped the page

And fell asleep; If sleeping 1t could be.
When in their natural sequence in the brain.
Tboucht followed thought, more papable and plain

And all my being inly did rejoice. voice,

ia ,be great river that through deserts ran
He sang the glories; and SO /, that night,
Felt when this vision passed before my sight;
And what saw, | sang OF at the time
With ease unparalleled by waking rhyme
And TO this tune, which many day since then
A haunting music has come back again.
Vi,
Shining far away;
With It's domes and steepes tall
And the sunlight over all;
With the waters OF bay,
Dotted over with feet
Ripplng gently al its feet;
Oh The golden cty-so beautiful 10 seq
|. shall open wide its portals
And II tell you if il be
The city OF the happy,
The city OF the free.
Oh the glorious city,
Shining FIR away
In its boundaries every
Makes its happiness plan
That he studies nj ht and day
Till he thinks il not alone
Like his property, his own:
Oh eglorious city-so beamiftato see
But spreads il round about him,
Til all be blessed as he
His mind an inward sunshine,
And bright eternaly.
Oh the splendid city
Cleaning far away;
Every man by Love possessed,
Has priest within his breast
And whcne'er he knces to pray
Never brcathes thought unkind
Against men of other mind
Oh Me glorious city--so beGutif ui 10 ser
But knows that God Eternal
Will shower His blessings free
On hearts that hive 10 love Him.
And cling TO Charity
Oh the gorgeous city,
Shining far away;
Where a competence s bliss,
And each that lives has this
For his labor of the day;
labor not too hRrd,
And bounritul reward
Oh the glorious city-sO beautiful 10 srs!
Where mighty wheels to aid him
Rcvolvc necessarily,
And Science gains cheer him
daily Victory.
Oh the glorious city,
Shining far away:
Neither Misery Crime,
Nor the wrongs OF ancient Time
Nor the kinsly lust OF sway
Ever come within its wall
To degrade enthral:
oh the glorious city-so beautiful 10 see!
But Peace and Love, and knowledge,
The civizing Three.
Still prove by Coon that has been.
The BETTER that may be-.
Thus dreamed l. to tins rhyt or something near,
But far more musical, and bright, and clear
And then Weakened, still my fancy ran
IT was not all dream and that large Hopes form
Were not such idle visions as the wise
In DAYS like ours should hecdlcssy dcspise.
! thought that Love might be Religion, yet
Not form alone but scul and substance met
The guide, the HIGHT, the glory Of the mind
TIL electric link uniting all mankind;
That il men loved aud made such love their Law.
All else would follow--morc than ever saw
Poet or Prophet III the utmost light
Ofheavcnly glory opening ON their sight.
But dream, or no dream. take II as IT came:
1t gave me Hopc-it may give you the same
And as bright Hopes make the Intention strong,
Take heart with me, ana muse upon my song.
