GOLDENROD by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: AS ISRAEL IN DAYS OF OLD
Last Line: THE WINTER'S THREATENING TIDE.
Subject(s): GOLDENROD;
AS Israel, in days of old,
Beneath the prophet's rod,
Amid the waters, backward rolled,
A path triumphant trod;
So, while thy lifted staff appears,
Her pilgrim steps to guide,
The Autumn journeys on, nor fears
The Winter's threatening tide.
