Salem

Where 
O’ where
Are my friends?

They’re in the New Jerusalem

Where it’s calm as the dawn
Yet bright as the sun

The gates are made of fine jewels
Like the clusters of the vine

And its crystal floors as scintillating
As the best of sparkling wine

O’ where, O’ where
Are my friends

They’re in the New Jerusalem
