Explore "The Angel of The Desert and Other Poems" by Allan Macpherson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The grand brief lessons he had come to preach, Remote from man thenceforth, in desert homes Unknown, unsought, with heaven-giv'n power to teach He waits the fulness of his time to come. And now 'tis come; prophetic forms assume Predestined parts; the mighty voice that speaks, Yet toucheth not the chords of outward sense (Tho spirit harkeneth) bids him to warn, to watch, to seek The coming of those souls whose bonds He comes to break.
