DESOLATION.
13
For my heart cried "Desolation!
Shattered hopes lie buried here—
Yea, the blight of Desolation
Hath cursed these kingdoms drear!"
Shattered hopes lie buried here—
Yea, the blight of Desolation
Hath cursed these kingdoms drear!"
Then I fled afar, and pondered
On the marvels I had seen—
Marvels deep and awful!
All pale with dread I wandered
Mid the terror of the scene,
And I shrieked: "The power that reareth
And leveleth these hills
Is the evil god that seareth
My life and heart with ills!"
