So Moses stood on Pisgah's heights alone,

With sight undimmed, and unabated strength;

He gazed with rapture on the vision shown,

Of the fair land in all its breadth and length;

He saw the vale of Eschol clad with vine,

Mount Libbanus adorned with lordly trees,

Gilead and Achor, with their lowing kine,

And verdant Sharon swept by the sea breeze;

He saw the spot where Jacob's ladder stood,

The oaks at Mamre where their father prayed,
