Jerusalem thy Sister calls!
Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death
And close her from thy ancient walls?When June the roses round her calls? –
Then do you know the light that fallsAgainst our whited walls,
And in the phlox, the dutious bees
Are paying duty calls.Jerusalem thy Sister calls!
Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death
And close her from thy ancient walls?The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;Safe in their burrow below the falls
They live in a world of wonder,
Where no one visits and no one calls,And the long dwellers in those halls
Have souls that know but sordid calls,On his roof the red leaf falls,
At his door the bluejay calls,A spirit in soft music calls
From Autumn's gray and moss-grown halls,And wood-fire flickering on the walls,
To hear, when, 'mid our talk and games,
Without the baffled north-wind calls.The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;And, for hunger and thirst and such troublesome calls,
Every ale-house should then have a feast on its walls.The blast of December calls,
He builds, in the starlight clear and cold,
A palace of ice where his torrent falls,Steady your hand in time o' squalls,
Stand to the last by him that falls,
And answer clear to the voice that calls,Where the flame of sunset only falls,
Lapped in silence lies the House of Dying,
House of them to whom the twilight calls.Through hymns of triumph the tempter calls,
And whoso thinketh he standeth falls.'Arise, dear Youth! even now the danger calls;
Even now the villain snuffs his wonted prey;
See! see!I lead thee to yon sacred walls-Answ'ring the feeble wind that faintly calls,
They kiss no kindred boughs but touch alway
The stones of climbing walls.When by the pond out yonder the redwing blackbird calls,
And distant hills are wed to Spring in veils of water-falls;Whom best Europa's patroness it calls
Great Anna's title no exception knows
And unapplyd in this ye fable falls
