brings�察�Peace or Strife�察�Under the shade of his mighty wings�察�One by one�察�

Are   his   secrets   told�察  �One   by   one�察  �Lit   by   the   rays   of   each   morning   sun�察�

Shall a new flower its petals unfold�察�With the mystery hid in its heart of 

gold。   We   will   arise   and   go   forth   to   greet   him�察  �Singly�察  �gladly�察  �with   one 

accord�察 � ;Blessed is he that cometh In the name of the Lord� ─�

wings ´ No alloy Lies in the radiant gifts he brings�察�Tender and sweet�察�He 

is come to´day�察�Tender and sweet�此�While chains of love on his silver feet 

Will hold him in lingering fond delay。 But greet him quickly�察�he will not 

stay�察�Soon he will leave us�察�but though for others All his brightest treasures 

are stored�察 � ;Blessed is he that cometh In the name of the Lord� ─�

     Who is the Angel that cometh�拭�Pain� �Let us arise and go forth to greet 

him�察�Not in vain Is the summons come for us to meet him�察�He will stay�察�

And darken our sun�察�He will stay A desolate night�察�a weary day。 Since in 

that shadow our work is done�察�And in that shadow our crowns are won�察�

Let us say still�察�while his bitter chalice Slowly into our hearts is poured�察 � 

;Blessed is he that cometh In the name of the Lord� ─�

                VERSE�此                  �DREAM´LIFE 



    Listen�察�friend�察�and I will tell you Why I sometimes seem so glad�察�Then�察�

without a reason changing�察�Soon become so grave and sad。 

    Half my life I live a beggar�察�Ragged�察�helpless�察�and alone�察�But the other 

half a monarch�察�With my courtiers round my throne。 

    Half my life is full of sorrow�察�Half of joy�察�still fresh and new�察�One of 

these lives is a fancy�察�But the other one is true。 

    While I live and feast on gladness�察�Still I feel the thought remain�察�This 

must soon end��nearer�察�nearer Comes the life of grief and pain。 

    While   I   live   a   wretched   beggar�察  �One   bright   hope   my   lot   can   cheer�察�

Soon�察�soon�察�thou shalt have thy kingdom�察�Brighter hours are drawing near。 

     So you see my life is twofold�察�Half a pleasure�察�half a grief�察�Thus all joy 

is somewhat tempered�察�And all sorrow finds relief。 

    Which�察�you ask me�察�is the real life�察�Which the Dreamthe joy�察�or woe�拭�

Hush�察�friend� �it is little matter�察�And�察�indeedI never know。

                           VERSE�此                   �REST 



     Spread�察�spread thy silver wings�察�oh Dove� �And seek for rest by land 

and sea�察�And bring the tidings back to me For thee and me and those I love。 

Look how my Dove soars far away�察�Go with her�察�heart of mine�察�I pray�察�Go 

where her fluttering silver pinions Follow the track of the crimson day。 

     Is   rest   where   cloudlets   slowly   creep�察  �And   sobbing   winds   forget   to 

grieve�察�And quiet waters gently heave�察�As if they rocked the ship to sleep�拭�

Ah no� �that southern vapour white Will bring a tempest ere the night�察�And 

thunder through the quiet Heaven�察�Lashing the sea in its angry might。 

     The battle´field lies still and cold�察�While stars that watch in silent light 

Gleam   here   and   there   on   weapons   bright�察  �In   weary   sleepers'   slackened 

hold�察�Nay�察�though they dream of no alarm�察�One bugle sound will stir that 

calm�察�And all the strength of two great nations�察�Eager for battle�察�will rise 

and arm。 

     Pause where the Pilgrim's day is done�察�Where scrip and staff aside are 

laid�察�And�察�resting in the silent shade�察�They watch the slowly sinking sun。 

Ah no�  �that   worn   and   weary  band Must   journey  long   before they  stand�察�

With   bleeding   feet�察  �and   hearts   rejoicing�察  �Kissing   the   dust   of   the   Holy 

Land。 

     Then find a soul who meets at last A noble prize but hard to gain�察�Or 

joy   long   pleaded   for   in   vain�察  �Now   sweeter   for   a   bitter   past。 Ah   no�   �for 

Time can rob her yet�察�And even should cruel Time forget�察�Then Death will 

come�察�and�察�unrelenting�察�Brand her with sorrowful long regret。 

     Seek farther�察�farther yet�察�oh Dove� �Beyond the Land�察�beyond the Sea�察�

There shall be rest for thee and me�察�For thee and me and those I love。 I 

heard a promise gently fall�察�I heard a far´off Shepherd call The weary and 

the broken´hearted�察�Promising rest unto each and all。 

     It   is   not   marred   by   outward   strife�察  �It   is   not   lost   in   calm   repose�察  �It 

heedeth neither joys nor woes�察�Is not disturbed by death or life�察�Through�察�

and beyond them�察�lies our Rest�此�Then cease�察�oh Heart�察�thy longing quest� �

And thou�察�my Dove�察�with silver pinions Flutter again to thy quiet nest� �

         VERSE�此                  �THE TYRANT AND 

                         THE CAPTIVE 



    It was midnight when I listened�察�And I heard two Voices speak�察�One 

was harsh�察�and stern�察�and cruel�察�And the other soft and weak�此�Yet I saw no 

Vision    enter�察 �And    I  heard   no   steps  depart�察  �Of  this  Tyrant    and  his 

Captive�察 � 。 。 FATE it might be and a HEART。 

    Thus   the   stern Voice   spake   in   triumph�此�   ;I   have   shut   your   life   away 

From the radiant world of nature�察�And the perfumed light of day。 You�察�who 

loved to steep your spirit In the charm of Earth's delight�察�See no glory of 

the daytime�察�And no sweetness of the night。; 

    But the soft Voice answered calmly�此 �Nay�察�for when the March winds 

bring Just a whisper to my window�察�I can dream the rest of Spring�察�And to´ 

day I saw a Swallow Flitting past my prison bars�察�And my cell has just one 

corner Whence at night I see the stars。; 

    But its bitter taunt repeating�察�Cried the harsh Voice�此 �Where are they 

´ All the friends of former hours�察�Who forget your name to´day�拭�All the 

links of love are shattered�察�Which you thought so strong before�察�And your 

very heart is lonely�察�And alone since loved no more。; 

    But the low Voice spoke still lower�此         � ;Nay�察�I know the golden chain 

Of my love is purer�察�stronger�察�For the cruel fire of pain�此�They remember 

me no longer�察�But I�察�grieving here alone�察�Bind their souls to me for ever 

By the love within their own。; 

    But the Voice cried�此� ;Once remember You devoted soul and mind To 

the   welfare   of   your   brethren�察�And   the   service   of   your   kind。   Now�察  �what 

sorrow can you comfort�拭�You�察�who lie in helpless pain�察�With an impotent 

compassion Fretting out your life in vain。; 

     ;Nay�察─�and then the gentle answer Rose more loud�察�and full�察�and clear�此�

;For the sake of all my brethren I thank God that I am here� �Poor
