Excerpt from Poems and Idylls Oh who has knelt in holy prayer On Zion's mount, and would not there, From dawn of morn till starry even, Still supplicate the throne of Heaven P Moriah's hill! Where Abraham's faith, When sorely tried, and found sincere, Received his son as if from death, All men with sacred love revere. There Zion's temple stands, the pride Of Jewry and the world beside, Round which the dust of sages sleeps, And God's own eye its vigils keeps. There, angels from His shining throne In messages of love and grace Proclaimed His will in ages gone To Abraham's belov'ed race.
