THE GREAT JEHOVAH speaks to us, In Genesis and Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers see, Followed by Deuteronomy. Joshua and Judges sway the land, Ruth gleans a sheaf with trembling hand, Samuel and numerous kings appear, Whose Chronicles we wondering hear; Ezra and Nehemiah now Esther the beauteous mourner show; Job speaks in sighs, David in Psalms, The Proverbs teach to scatter alms. Ecclesiastes then comes on, And the sweet song of Solomon. Isaiah, Jeremiah then With Lamentations takes his pen. Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea's lyres Swell Joel, Amos, Obadiah's. Next Jonah, Micah, Nahum come, And lofty Habakkuk finds room, Rapt Zephaniah, Haggai calls, While Zechariah builds the walls; And Malachi, with garments rent, Concludes the ancient Testament. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE FALL by HAYDEN CARRUTH AQUATINT FRAMED IN GOLD by AMY LOWELL LA RONDE DU DIABLE by AMY LOWELL DOMESDAY BOOK: WIDOW FORTELKA by EDGAR LEE MASTERS RECESSIONAL by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
