I Saw Again. Behold! Heaven’s Open Door,
Behold! A Throne The Seraphim Stood O’er It
The White-Robed Elders Fell Upon The Floor,
And Flung Their Crowns Before It.
I Saw A Wondrous Book An Angel Strong
To Heaven And Earth Proclaimed His Loud Appeals
But A Hush Passed Across The Seraph’s Song,
For None Might Loose The Seals.
Then, Fast As Rain To Death Cry Of The Year,
Tears Of St. John To That Sad Cry Were Given;
It Was A Wondrous Thing To See A Tear
Fall On The Floor Of Heaven!
And A Sweet Voice Said, “Weep Not, Wherefore Fails
Eagle Of God, Thy Heart, The High And Leal?
The Lion Out Of Judah’s Tribe Prevails
To Loose The Seven-Fold Seal.”
‘Twas Israel’s Voice; And Straightway, Up Above,
Stood In The Midst A Wondrous Lamb, Snow White,
Heart-Wounded With The Deep Sweet Wounds Of Love,
Eternal, Infinite.
Then Rose The Song No Ear Had Heard Before;
Then From The White-Robed Throng High Anthem Woke;
And Fast As Spring-Tide On The Sealess Shore
The Hallelujahs Broke.
Who Dreams Of God When Passionate Youth Is High,
When First Life’s Weary Waste His Feet Have Trod
Who Seeth Angels’ Footfalls In The Sky,
Working The Works Of God,
His Sun Shall Fade As Gently As It Rose,
Thro’ The Dark Woof Of Death’s Approaching Night
His Faith Shall Shoot, At Life’s Prophetic Close,
Some Threads Of Golden Light.
For Him The Silver Ladder Shall Be Set
His Savior Shall Receive His Latest Breath
He Walketh To A Fadeless Coronet
Up Thro’ The Gate Of Death.
