Hark! the Alleluias of the great salvation, Still beginning, never ending, still begin. The thunder of an endless adoration: Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation Which have kept the truth may enter in. Roll ye back, ye pearls, on your twelvefold station: No more deaths to die, no more fights to win I Lift your heads, ye gates, that the righteous nation, Led by the Great Captain of their sole salvation. Having kept the truth, may enter in. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEN WHO MARCH AWAY' (SONG OF THE SOLDIERS) by THOMAS HARDY GEORGE WASHINGTON by JOHN HALL INGHAM THE TRAGICAL HISTORY OF THE LIFE AND DEATH OF DOCTOR FAUSTUS by CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE THE GODODDIN: CONAN by ANEIRIN SONNETS OF SEVEN CITIES: CHICAGO by BERTON BRALEY SERAPH AND THE POET by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING SEA AND SHORE by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON A GOLDEN WEDDING: C.B.-E.A.B., 1825-1875 by WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER |
