Scritta da: Silvana Stremiz
A little East of Jordan,
Evangelists record,
A Gymnast and an Angel
Did wrestle long and hard -
Till morning touching mountain -
And Jacob, waxing strong,
The Angel begged permission
To Breakfast - to return -

Not so, said cunning Jacob!
"I will not let thee go
Except thou bless me" - Stranger!
The which acceded to -

Light swung the silver fleeces
"Peniel" Hills beyond,
And the bewildered Gymnast
Found he had worsted God!

    Delayed till she had ceased to know -
    Delayed till in it's vest of snow
    Her loving bosom lay -
    An hour behind the fleeting breath -
    Later by just an hour than Death -
    Oh lagging Yesterday!
    Could she have guessed that it w'd be -
    Could but a crier of the joy
    Have climbed the distant hill -
    Had not the bliss so slow a pace
    Who knows but this surrendered face
    Were undefeated still?

    Oh if there may departing be
    Any forgot by Victory
    In her imperial round -
    Show them this meek apparreled thing
    That could not stop to be a king -
    Doubtful if it be crowned.

      If I should die -
      And you should live -
      And time sh'd gurgle on -
      And morn sh'd beam -
      And noon should burn -
      As it has usual done -
      If Birds should build as early
      And Bees as bustling go -
      One might depart at option
      From enterprise below!
      Tis sweet to know that stocks will stand
      When we with Daisies lie -
      That Commerce will continue -
      And Trades as briskly fly -
      It makes the parting tranquil
      And keeps the soul serene -
      That gentlemen so sprightly
      Conduct the pleasing scene.

        Taken from men - this morning -
        Carried by men today -
        Met by the Gods with banners -
        Who marshalled her away -
        One little maid - from playmates -
        One little mind from school -
        There must be guests in Eden -
        All the rooms are full -

        Far - as the East from Even -
        Dim - as the border star -
        Courtiers quaint, in Kingdoms
        Our departed are.
