Elmson the marbled sky
Walling this hollow land,
Write something black that I
Find hard to understand.
Belshazzar in his hall,Belshazzar and those lordsSaw suddenly on the wallGreat crooked words:
Belshazzar in his hall,
Belshazzar and those lords
Saw suddenly on the wall
Great crooked words:
A doom, a doom of fear ...Something our hearts forgetIs mighty still and nearTo claim his debt.
A doom, a doom of fear ...
Something our hearts forget
Is mighty still and near
To claim his debt.
Behold before it falls—Behold the mighty handOf Nature on the wallsOf the hollow land!
Behold before it falls—
Behold the mighty hand
Of Nature on the walls
Of the hollow land!
