THE WRAPPING

When the sun shall be wrapped up,

And when the stars shall fall down,
And when the mountains shall be romoved,
And when the ten month camels shall be neglected,
And when the wild beasts shall be huddled together,
And when the seas shall boil over,
And whien the souls shall be joined to their bodies,
And when the child that was burried alive shall be asked
For what crime she was slain;
And when the books shall be laid ope
And when the sky shall be peled off
And when hell shall be set ablaze,
And when paradise shall be brought near,
The soul shall kuow what it hath wrought,
AndI swear by the stars that hide,
That move swifly and hide, And by the darkening nighit,
And by the breath of dawn,
Verily this is the word of a noble 9Messenger,
Strong, fim in favour of the Lord of the throne,
Obeyed and trusted,
And your companion is not one possessed:
And without doubt fhe saw him on the clear horizon:
And he is not mistrusted or unseen,
Nor is his the speech ofa pelted devil
Then wither go ye ?
Verily this but a reminder to to the words,
To whomsoever of you chooseth to walk aright:
But ye shall not choose it, exçept God choose it,
The Lord of the worlds.
