THE GOLDEN CRY.

From the days of st. Johns revelation
The marvellous story Is told.
And down ,hro' the ages has come the
song.
The song of the CITY OF Gold.
To the innocent hearts Of the children.
To the toiiers who faint meath earth's
sun.
To the old who have fought out Its prob
lens,
To the dyink whose Journey is done.
Comes the dream Of the mystical city,
with colors and ioveliness rife.
Iridescent its Jeweled foundations.
Flowerborccred Its River Of Life:
And the streets of the city are golden,
And the sea rs OF crystal appears.
And the sound of the harpers Is In Il
And 1t knows no, of sorrow or tears.
Like 4 mirage out in the desert,
Like the fabric that fashions our dreams.
Like some many-hued m!rrored reflection
The heavenly Jerusalem seems.
We grope mid the types and the shadows.
We fret at its yelling Disguise:
But our hearts cannot grasp or conceive
Its glory is hid from our eyes.
We catch hut Il note OF the music,
glimpse swiftly passing and faint.
\ hint OF Its wondrous perfection.
Low whispered to seer and to saint.
Yet the glow OF It shortens the journey.
And our feet tread more bravely the road
Which leads TO the sorrowiess city
Whose Builder and Maker Is God
And thus as n gift TO the ages
The marvellous story flows on.
And the heart OF man rests on the vision
That illumined the eyes OF St, John.
