Safe in their Alabas -
ter Chambers -
Untouched by Morning -
And untouched by noon -
Sleep the meek mem -
bers
of the Resurrection,
Rafter of Satin and
Roof of Stone

Grand go the Years,
In the Crescent above
them -
Worlds scoop their Arcs -
And Firmaments - row -
Diadems - drop -
And Doges - surrender -
Soundless as Dots,
On a Disc of Snow.

About 1861. BPL 2.
