Safe in their Alabaster Chambers lyrics

Safe in their Alabaster Chambers,

Untouched by morning

And untouched by noon,

Sleep the meek members of the Resurrection,

Rafter of satin, and Roof of stone.

Light laughs the breeze

In her Castle above them;

Babbles the Bee in a stolid Ear,

Pipe the sweet birds in ignorant cadence -

Ah, what sagacity perished here!

Grand go the Years - in the

Crescent - above them -

Worlds scoop their Arcs -

And Firmaments - row -

Diadems - drop and Doges -

surrender-

Soundless as dots - on a

Disk of snow -
