John Hamilton Poet Rhyme

Eleventh Hour Cometh

Eleventh hour cometh, and e'er nun too soon
Bad tidings beckon, wicked's dark days of doom
Tears for fears, death's time's near
Cause, evildo'rs oft n'er hearing ear
Knave's and thieves, may scoff'n scorn
Malevolent scheming's oft so forlorn
Military men's might n'er a chance had
As king of kings battle, play's winning hand
Almighty steeds astride, turning the tide
Gainst wicked foe's, banishing blind guides
Earth swallow'd whole, fiendish Devil's pride
Ne'er to rise again, abyssed together inside
Lo! Behold! thousand years have fine'ly past
Sinister Spirit's gone f'good, f'rever at last!
