FALLEN BABYLON.

How, like cloud of dark and fearful wrath
The Prophets curse is hanging Ger thee now;
Thou who vast queen among the nations ohCe,
How hast thou bound the sa ckcloth on my oro"
Lost is the glory of thine ancient day,
And all thy wondrous beauty nassnd -'"-I'
Silence has falen on thy busy scenes
and desolation wrapped thee like a pal
The voice of weeping prophets now is hushed;
Fen as the yiols in thy festive hall;
Mute is the shout of mi1lh-the cry vi strife
mighty hand has stilled thy pulse Oh me-
No traveller fainting in the MONDAY heat,
Will seek for shel.er near Thy ruined MOUND;
No shepherd, passing at the evening hour,
will bitch his tent upon thy haunted ground;
The Arab and the robber read Thy fate,
And feel that God hath made thee desoiate.
