Ring out, ye crystal spheres, Once bless our human ears, If ye have power to touch our senses so ; CAROLS AND POEMS. 97 And let your silver chime Move in melodious time ; And let the base of Heaven's deep organ blow ; And, with your ninefold harmony, Make up full consort to the angelic symphony.
For, if such holy song, Enwrap our fancy long, Time will run back and fetch the age of gold ; And speckled Vanity Will sicken soon and die, And leprous Sin will melt from earthly mould ; And Hell itself... will pass away, And leave her dolorous mansions to the peering day.
Yea, Truth and Justice then Will down return to men.
Orb'd in a rainbow ; and, like glories wearing, Mercy will sit between, Throned in celestial sheen, With radiant feet the tissued clouds down steering ; And Heaven, as at some festival, Will open wide the gates of her high palace-hall.
G 98 CAROLS AND POEMS.
But wisest Fate says No, This must not yet be so, The Babe yet lies in smiling infancy. That on the bitter cross Must redeem our loss ; So both himself and us to glorify : Yet first, to those ychain'd in sleep, The wakeful trump of doom must thunder through the deep; With such a horrid clang As on Mount Sinai rang, While the red fire and smouldering clouds outbrake : The aged earth aghast With terror of that blast, Shall from the surface to the centre shake ; When at the world's last session, The dreadful Judge in middle air shall spread his throne.
