HEBREW MELODIES.
35
IV.Chaldea's seers are good, But here they have no skill;And the unknown letters stood Untold and awful still.And Babel's men of age Are wise and deep in lore;But now they were not sage, They saw—but knew no more.
V.A captive in the land, A stranger and a youth,He heard the king's command, He saw that writing's truth.The lamps around were bright, The prophecy in view;He read it on that night,— The morrow proved it true.
