Visions of the years gone by	A
Flash upon my mental eye	A
Ages time no longer numbers	B
Forms that share oblivion's slumbers	B
Creatures of that elder world	C
Now in dust and darkness hurled	C
Crushed beneath the heavy rod	D
Of a long forsaken God	D
	-
Hark what spirit moves the crowd	E
Like the voice of waters loud	E
Through the open city gate	F
Urged by wonder fear or hate	F
Onward rolls the mighty tide	G
Spreads the tumult far and wide	G
Heedless of the noontide glare	H
Infancy and age are there	H
Joyous youth and matron staid	I
Blooming bride and blushing maid	I
Manhood with his fiery glance	B
War chief with his lifted lance	B
Beauty with her jewelled brow	J
Hoary age with locks of snow	K
Prince and peer and statesman grave	L
White stoled priest and dark browed slave	L
Plumed helm and crowned head	M
By one mighty impulse led	M
Mingle in the living mass	B
That onward to the desert pass	B
	-
With song and shout and impious glee	N
What rush earth's myriads forth to see	N
Hark the sultry air is rent	O
With their boisterous merriment	O
Are they to the vineyards rushing	P
Where the grape's rich blood is gushing	P
Or hurrying to the bridal rite	O
Of warrior brave and beauty bright	O
Ah no those heads in mockery crowned	O
Those pennons gay with roses bound	O
Hie not to a scene of gladness	N
Theirs is mirth that ends in madness	N
All recklessly they rush to hear	Q
The dark words of that gifted seer	Q
Who amid a guilty race	N
Favour found and saving grace	N
Rescued from the doom that hurled	O
To chaos back a sinful world	O
Self polluted lost debased	O
Every noble trait effaced	O
To rapine lust and murder given	R
Denying God defying heaven	R
Spoilers of the shrine and hearth	S
Behold the impious sons of earth	T
Alas all fatally opposed	O
The heart of erring man is closed	O
Against that warning and he deems	N
The prophet's counsel idle dreams	N
And laughs to hear the preacher rave	L
Of bursting cloud and whelming wave	L
	-
Tremble Earth the awful doom	U
That sweeps thy millions to the tomb	U
Hangs darkly o'er thee and the train	V
That gaily throng the open plain	V
Shall never raise those laughing eyes	N
To welcome summer's cloudless skies	N
Shall never see the golden beam	W
Of day light up the wood and stream	W
Or the rich and ripened corn	X
Waving in the breath of morn	X
Or their rosy children twine	Y
Chaplets of the clustering vine	Y
The bow is bent the shaft is sped	O
Who shall wail above the dead	O
	-
What arrests their frantic course	N
Back recoils the startled horse	N
And the stifling sob of fear	Z
Like a knell appals the ear	Q
Lips are quivering cheeks are pale	A2
Palsied limbs all trembling fail	A2
Eyes with bursting terror gaze	N
On the sun's portentous blaze	N
Through the wide horizon gleaming	P
Like a blood red banner streaming	P
While like chariots from afar	B2
Armed for elemental war	C2
Clouds in quick succession rise	N
Darkness spreads o'er all the skies	N
And a lurid twilight gloom	U
Closes o'er earth's living tomb	U
	-
Nature's pulse has ceased to play	D2
Night usurps the crown of day	D2
Every quaking heart is still	E2
Conscious of the coming ill	E2
Lo the fearful pause is past	O
The awful tempest bursts at last	O
Torrents sweeping down amain	Y
With a deluge flood the plain	Y
The rocks are rent the mountains reel	F2
Earth's yawning caves their depths reveal	F2
The forests groan the heavy gale	A2
Shrieks out Creation's funeral wail	A2
Hark that loud tremendous roar	C2
Ocean overleaps the shore	C2
Pouring all his giant waves	N
O'er the fated land of graves	N
Where his white robed spirit glides	N
Death the advancing billow rides	N
And the mighty conqueror smiles	N
In triumph o'er the sinking isles	N
	-
Hollow murmurs fill the air	H
Thunders roll and lightnings glare	H
Shrieks of woe and fearful cries	N
Mingled sounds of horror rise	N
Dire confusion frantic grief	G2
Agony that mocks relief	G2
Like a tempest heaves the crowd	O
While in accents fierce and loud	O
With pallid lips and curdled blood	O
Each trembling cries The flood the flood	O
