The poem shows the Master with his work done singing to free his heart	A
in Heaven	B
	-
This poem is intended to be half said half sung very softly	C
to the well known tune	D
	-
Last night I lay a sleeping	E
There came a dream so fair	F
I stood in Old Jerusalem	G
Beside the temple there etc	H
	-
Yet this tune is not to be fitted on arbitrarily It is here given	B
to suggest the manner of handling rather than determine it	I
	-
	-
To be sung	J
I heard Immanuel singing	E
Within his own good lands	K
I saw him bend above his harp	L
I watched his wandering hands	K
Lost amid the harp strings	M
Sweet sweet I heard him play	N
His wounds were altogether healed	O
Old things had passed away	N
	-
All things were new but music	P
The blood of David ran	Q
Within the Son of David	R
Our God the Son of Man	Q
He was ruddy like a shepherd	S
His bold young face how fair	F
Apollo of the silver bow	T
Had not such flowing hair	F
	-
To be read very softly but in spirited response	U
I saw Immanuel singing	E
On a tree girdled hill	V
The glad remembering branches	W
Dimly echoed still	V
The grand new song proclaiming	E
The Lamb that had been slain	X
New built the Holy City	C
Gleamed in the murmuring plain	X
	-
The crowning hours were over	Y
The pageants all were past	Z
Within the many mansions	A2
The hosts grown still at last	Z
In homes of holy mystery	C
Slept long by crooning springs	M
Or waked to peaceful glory	C
A universe of Kings	M
	-
To be sung	J
He left his people happy	C
He wandered free to sigh	B2
Alone in lowly friendship	C2
With the green grass and the sky	B2
He murmured ancient music	P
His red heart burned to sing	E
Because his perfect conquest	D2
Had grown a weary thing	E
	-
No chant of gilded triumph	E2
His lonely song was made	F2
Of Art's deliberate freedom	G
Of minor chords arrayed	F2
In soft and shadowy colors	G2
That once were radiant flowers	G2
The Rose of Sharon bleeding	E
In Olive shadowed bowers	G2
	-
And all the other roses	H2
In the songs of East and West	D2
Of love and war and worshipping	E
And every shield and crest	D2
Of thistle or of lotus	I2
Or sacred lily wrought	J2
In creeds and psalms and palaces	W
And temples of white thought	J2
	-
To be read very softly yet in spirited response	U
All these he sang half smiling	E
And weeping as he smiled	K2
Laughing talking to his harp	L
As to a new born child	K2
As though the arts forgotten	B
But bloomed to prophecy	C
These careless fearless harp strings	M
New crying in the sky	B2
To be sung	J
When this his hour of sorrow	L2
For flowers and Arts of men	M2
Has passed in ghostly music	P
I asked my wild heart then	M2
What will he sing to morrow	L2
What wonder all his own	N2
Alone set free rejoicing	E
With a green hill for his throne	N2
What will he sing to morrow	L2
What wonder all his own	N2
Alone set free rejoicing	E
With a green hill for his throne	N2
