\ THE VALLEY OF Ell CHOIR
Dead Petra in her hill tomb sleeps,
Her stones OF emptiness remain;
Around her sculDtured MISERY s~ eeps
The lonely waste of Edom's plain
From the doomed jewellers in the Glen
The bow of vengeance turned not back;
Ofall her myriads none are lett
Along the Wsdy Mousas track.
Clear in the hot Arabian day
Her arches spring, her statues climb;
Unchanged, the craven wonders pay
No tribute TO the spoler, Time
Unchanged the awful Autograph
Ofpower and : Tory undertrod,
Ofnaiions scattered like the chat
Blown from The threshing floor Of God.
Yet shall the thoughtful stranger turn
From Petra's gates, with deeper awe
To mark afar the burial urn
OfAaron Oh the cliffs OF Hor.
And where upon its ancient guard
The Rock, Ell Ghor, is standing yet,
Lo. ks from its turrets de>ert-ward,
And keeps the watch that God has set.
The same as when in ihundeTs loud
1t heard the voice OF God TO man;
As when il saw in FIRE and cloud
The angels walk in Israel's van!
Or when from EZion Geber's way
II saw The long procession file,
And heard the Hebrew iimbrels play
The music ofthe lOrdly Nile.
Or saw the tabernacle pause,
Cloud bound, by Ksdesh Barnes's wells,
While Moses graved the sacred laws,
And Aaron swung his golden bells.
Rock of the desert, prophet-sung!
How grew its shadowing pile, at length,
symbol, in the Hebrew tongue,
OfGOd's eternal love and strength.
On lip of bard and scroll OF seer,
From age 10 age went down the name,
Until the Shiloh's promised year,
And Christ, the Rock of Ages, came
The path of life we walk to-day
Is strange as that The Hebrews trod
We need the shadowng rock as they,
We need, like them, the guides of God.
God send His angels Cloud and Fire
To lead us DER the desert land!
God give our hearts their long desire,
His shadow in a weary land
