Where the banquet waits, with its viands crowned,
And the wine-cup’s rosy gleam,
While soft luxuriant bowers around,
Invite to recline and dream:
Such is the vision of future bliss
To the Prophet-followers given—
The “true-believer’s” goal of hope,
The Moslem’s dream of Heaven,
The Indian dreams of a sunset land,
Where the great Manitto reigns;
