No scathing breath of burning desert waves, Tar spicy groves, nor vales where Eden's bloom A lingering impress of its beauty leaves, Diverts that mind whose solemn thoughts assume Forms most divine. He seeks a prophet's tomb, Where'erst eternal Glory council held, With his frail minion man, where'erst the boom Of Zion's thunders o'er the valleys swelled, When God proclaimed His law, and Israel's hosts rebell'd.
