Thither came Brigham Young—at that time Brigham Younger.
Smith sent him out to bring to grace those sceptical down-easters,
Whilst Orson Pratt and Heber C. Kimball were missionaries in Europe.
In this world banks will break, and promoters be call’d swindlers:
This was the luck of Smith and his saintly companions—
Lo! the bank of Kirtland busted, the Mormons were clapp’d in prison,
Not long afterwards they received this heavenly revelation—
“Missouri’s too hot to hold you”—they “vamoused the ranche,” according.
O, Nauvoo, city of Beauty!
Land of delight, fertility, promise, and blossoming realizations!
