'Twas on the Red Sea coast at morn we met	A
The venerable man a healthy bloom	B
Mingled its softness with the vigorous thought	C
That towered upon his brow and when he spoke	D
'Twas language sweetened into song such holy sounds	E
As oft they say the wise and virtuous hear	F
Prelusive to the harmony of heaven	G
When death is nigh and still as he unclosed	C
His sacred lips an odor all as bland	C
As ocean breezes gather from the flowers	H
That blossom in Elysium breathed around	C
With silent awe we listened while he told	C
Of the dark veil which many an age had hung	I
O'er Nature's form till long explored by man	J
The mystic shroud grew thin and luminous	K
And glimpses of that heavenly form shone through	L
Of magic wonders that were known and taught	C
By him or Cham or Zoroaster named	C
Who mused amid the mighty cataclysm	M
O'er his rude tablets of primeval lore	N
And gathering round him in the sacred ark	O
The mighty secrets of that former globe	P
Let not the living star of science sink	Q
Beneath the waters which ingulfed a world	C
Of visions by Calliope revealed	C
To him who traced upon his typic lyre	R
The diapason of man's mingled frame	S
And the grand Doric heptachord of heaven	G
With all of pure of wondrous and arcane	T
Which the grave sons of Mochus many a night	C
Told to the young and bright haired visitant	C
Of Carmel's sacred mount Then in a flow	U
Of calmer converse he beguiled us on	V
Through many a Maze of Garden and of Porch	W
Through many a system where the scattered light	C
Of heavenly truth lay like a broken beam	X
From the pure sun which though refracted all	Y
Into a thousand hues is sunshine still	Z
And bright through every change he spoke of Him	A2
The lone eternal One who dwells above	B2
And of the soul's untraceable descent	C
From that high fount of spirit through the grades	C2
Of intellectual being till it mix	D2
With atoms vague corruptible and dark	O
Nor yet even then though sunk in earthly dross	E2
Corrupted all nor its ethereal touch	F2
Quite lost but tasting of the fountain still	Z
As some bright river which has rolled along	G2
Through meads of flowery light and mines of gold	C
When poured at length into the dusky deep	H2
Disdains to take at once its briny taint	C
Or balmy freshness of the scenes it left	C
But keeps unchanged awhile the lustrous tinge	I2
And here the old man ceased a winged train	T
Of nymphs and genii bore him from our eyes	J2
The fair illusion fled and as I waked	C
'Twas clear that my rapt soul had roamed the while	K2
To that bright realm of dreams that spirit world	C
Which mortals know by its long track of light	C
O'er midnight's sky and call the Galaxy	L2
