Poet Analysis

First Line: BELSHAZZAR HAD A LETTER
Last Line: ON REVELATION'S WALL.
Subject(s): BIBLE; CONSCIENCE; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

Belshazzar had a letter,--
He never had but one;
Belshazzar's correspondent
Concluded and begun
In that immortal copy
The conscience of us all
Can read without its glasses
On revelation's wall.
