Religion

Caught by the' almighty Hand,
That Spirit of the Lord,
Carried beyond myself I stand,
A witness of His word;
I see the book unseal'd.
Least of the prophets' sons,
I mark EzekicPs valley fill'd
With visionary bones!

Many they are and dry,
Spread through the open vale,
Millions of lifeless souls they lie
Within the Christian pale:
I pass the churches through,
The scatter'd bones I see,
And CJiristcndom appears in view
An hideous Calvary.
