|
<p>Through midnight gloom from Macedon<br>
|
|
The cry of myriads as of one,<br>
|
|
The voiceful silence of despair,<br>
|
|
Is eloquent in awful prayer,<br>
|
|
The soul’s exceeding bitter cry,<br>
|
|
“Come o’er and help us, or we die.”
|
|
<p>How mournfully it echoes on!<br>
|
|
For half the earth is Macedon;<br>
|
|
These brethren to their brethren call,<br>
|
|
And by the Love which loved them all,<br>
|
|
And by the whole world’s Life they cry,<br>
|
|
“O ye that live, behold we die!”</p>
|
|
<p>By other sounds the world is won<br>
|
|
Than that which wails from Macedon;<br>
|
|
The roar of gain is round it rolled,<br>
|
|
Or men unto themselves are sold,<br>
|
|
And cannot list the alien cry,<br>
|
|
“O hear and help us, lest we die!”</p>
|
|
<p>Yet with that cry from Macedon<br>
|
|
The very car of Christ rolls on;<br>
|
|
“I come; who would abide My day<br>
|
|
In yonder wilds prepare My way;<br>
|
|
My voice is crying in their cry;<br>
|
|
Help ye the dying, lest ye die.”</p>
|
|
<p>Jesu, for men of Man the Son,<br>
|
|
Yes, Thine the cry from Macedon;<br>
|
|
O by the kingdom and the power<br>
|
|
And glory of Thine advent hour,<br>
|
|
Wake heart and will to hear their cry;<br>
|
|
Help us to help them, lest we die!</p>
