Editorial Description: Notation at lower right indicating it was written in eight minutes.
- There is a new glory on all the land;
- All things seem bright to me, as when a door
- Being opened, one looks in and he who gazes sees before
- His eyes strong light tho' he in darkness stand:
- The sky is very broad and very grand
- Above my head, even as when first it bore
- The sun leaping from out it; o'er and o'er
- My lips half pray and hand half clasps with hand.
- She should be with me now, shedding on all
- 10 A something holy, like the crown a Saint
- Has round her temples, or the a sun glow of the iced on
- Masses Iced rocks in the blue North when their peaks fall
- Down into And become water 'neath the sun, with for my soul is faint
- Prayers and awed eyes she'd thank Lord Jesus Christ
-
Added TextAt seeing all this glory thus alone.
