Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mosque Rising in the Place of the Temple of Solomon: A Poem, to Which a Second Prize Was Awarded
From every clime, from every varied race, Thousands and thousands tbrong'd the ample space White-surpliced priests the ark of heaven bare, And waved soft incense through the languid air, While myriad victims shed their life's dark stream b, And countless altars flash'd with lambent gleam Then on the silence rose the swell of song.
