The Better Land
Dialogue between Edward and his mother
Hymnal: Linden Harp #137 (1855) First Line: I hear thee speak of a better land Lyrics: 1 Edward: I hear thee speak of a better land;
Thou call'st its children a happy band;
Mother! O where is that radiant shore,--
Shall we not seek it and weep no more?
Is it where the flower of the orange blows,
And the fire-flies dance through the myrtle boughs?
Mother. O no, no; not there, not there, my child.
2 Edward. Is it where the feathery palm trees rise,
And the date grows ripe under sunny skies,
Or mid the green islands of glittering seas,
Where fragrant forests perfume the breeze,
And strange bright birds, on their starry wings,
Bear the rich hues of all glorious things?
Mother. O no, no; not there, not there, my child!
3 Edward. Is it far away in some region old
Where the rivers wander o'er sands of gold--
Where the burning rays of the ruby shine,
And the diamond lights up the secret mine,
And the pearl gleams forth from the coral strand,--
Is it there, sweet mother, that better land?
Mother. O no, no; not there, not there, my child!
4 Eye hath not seen it, my gentle boy!
Ear hath not heard its deep songs of joy;
Dreams cannot picture a world so fair,
Sorrow and death may not enter there;
Time doth not breathe on its fadeless bloom,
For beyond the clouds and beyond the tomb,
There, yes, there is that better land, my child!
