Who mused the Hero from the East?
Who called him to his feet?
Who for him conquered Nations,
And threw their Leaders down
Like dust before his sword,
Like chaff before his bow E

All these things from the past ?
I, the Loma who am the First,
And Myself who am the Last.

Earth's bounds be filled with a. dread,
Each to cheer his mate will come,
Be bold ! ’

I will make you my tearing—mill fitted with teeth,
To thrashand beat mountains, reduce hills to chaff,

The poor and the wretched are seeking for water;
For their tongue parched with thirst there is none!

On the hills open rivers, and springs in the vales;
Put wells in the desert, with pools in the dry land,
And rippling streams.
