IN the sun and moon and stars Signs and wonders there shall be; Earth shall quake with inward wars, Nations with perplexity. Soon shall ocean's hoary deep, Toss'd with stronger tempests, rise; Darker storms the mountains sweep, Redder lightning rend the skies. Evil thoughts shall shake the proud, Racking doubt and restless fear; And, amid the thunder-cloud, Shall the Judge of men appear. But though from that awful face Heaven shall fade and earth shall fly, Fear not ye, His chosen race, Your redemption draweth nigh! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MERMAID by ALFRED TENNYSON EVENING TRAINS by MARY TRUE AYER BALLDE DES PENDUS by THEODORE FAULLAIN DE BANVILLE BRUCE: IN PRAISE OF FREEDOM by JOHN BARBOUR IN VINCULIS; SONNETS WRITTEN IN AN IRISH PRISON: DEEDS MIGHT HAVE BEEN by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT FOR ONE WHO IS SERENE by MARGARET E.
