ARMENIA.

By Willimina L. Armstrong.

Out of storms and peace light, out of confusing things,

Bound in mysterious fashion by the bindings of blood and hate,

Lo, are the Nations assembled now

At the Twentieth Century Gate.

Leaning beside the portal: Close! in the name of God!

Over the Garden of Eden, in the evening of this our Day.

Over the breast of the Mountain old

Where the Ark of deliverance lay.
