Some Verses

What terrible words of doom you spoke
that conjured up the fire and smoke
and like fragile glass it shattered and broke
the night Judea burned?

And barren does the land now lay,
now deprived of love they say,
the alien land beneath your sway,
the scorched land Judea.

The people weep and the rivers cry
tears of blood from the eye
and their bodies mourn-ed dry
the people of Judea.

A vile land of djinn and snake
that trembles in your sin's wake
unhospitable, it will be spake
"That horrible place Judea!"
