George Gordon Byron - On Jordan`s BanksGeorge Gordon Byron - On Jordan`s Banks
Work rating: Low


On Jordan`s banks the Arab`s camels stray, On Sion`s hill the False One`s votaries pray, The Baal-adorer bows on Sinai`s steep Yet there even there Oh God! thy thunders sleep: There where thy finger scorch`d the tablet stone! There where thy shadow to thy people shone! Thy glory shrouded in its garb of fire: Thyself none living see and not expire! Oh! in the lightning let thy glance appear; Sweep from his shiver`d hand the oppressor`s spear! How long by tyrants shall thy land be trod? How long thy temple worshipless, Oh God?
