PATMOS by AMELIA WOODWARD TRUESDELL

First Line: O PATMOS! ISLAND OF THE VISIONED SKIES
Last Line: O SPREAD FOR US THOSE FIELDS OF PARADISE!
Subject(s): HEAVEN; PARADISE;

O Patmos! Island of the visioned skies,
Where John beheld the wonders of the Sevens,—
The thunders, trumpets, and the vials of wrath
Poured out: the awful star-way of their path
To earth, from mysteries beyond the heavens!
O spread for us those fields of Paradise!
