    The poem describes a dream vision of Jerusalem. In the first part, the dreamer hears children singing in Jerusalem beside the temple. Angels answer their song from heaven. In the second part, the singing stops as darkness falls and a cross arises on a lonely hill. In the final part, the dreamer sees a vision of the Holy City beside a tideless sea, with its gates open wide and no one denied entry to its streets lit by God's light that will never pass away. The poem ends calling Jerusalem to lift up its gates and sing of its night being over and hosanna to its King forevermore.

    The Holy City

    Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Hark! How the angels sing,


    Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna to your King!

    I
    Last night I lay a-sleeping, there came a dream so fair,
    I stood in old Jerusalem beside the temple there.
    I heard the children singing, and ever as they sang
    Me thought the voice of angels from heaven in answer rang,
    Me thought the voice of angels from heaven in answer rang.

    III
    And once again the scene was changed; new earth there seemed to be.

    Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Lift up your gates and sing,

    I saw the Holy City beside the tideless sea.

    Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna to your King!

    The light of God was on its streets, the gates were open wide,
    And all who would might enter, and no one was denied.
    No need of moon or stars by night, or sun to shine by day;
    It was the New Jerusalem that would not pass away;

    II
    And then me thought my dream was changed, the streets no longer rang.
    Hushed were the glad Hosannas the little children sang.
    The sun grew dark with mystery, the morn was cold and chill,
    As the shadow of a cross arose upon a lonely hill,
    As the shadow of a cross arose upon a lonely hill.

    It was the New Jerusalem that would not pass away.


    Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Sing for the night is o'er!
    Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna forevermore!
    Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna forevermore!

    Jrusalem

    Jrusalem ! Jrusalem ! coute, enfin, et crois !

    Hosanna ! Amen ! Hosanna ! Honneur au Roi des rois !

    Un jour, , rve trange, sublime vision,


    Sous lgide dun ange, je men fuis Sion,
    L, tout prs du portique, j'entendis des enfants,
    Qui chantaient un cantique, aux sons clairs et touchants.

    III

    Les anges, ces chants, unissent leurs accents !

    Mais bientt, Dieu fit naitre, un spectacle plus beau ;


    Mes yeux virent paraitre tout un monde nouveau !

    Jrusalem ! Jrusalem ! Fais entendre ta voix !

    Je vis la Cit Sainte et sa mer en Crystal !

    Hosanna ! Amen ! Hosanna ! Hosanna au Roi des Rois !

    Dans son immense enceinte, la souffrance et le mal !


    Navaient aucune place, tout tait pur, parfait,

    II

    Le bonheur et la grce, y rgnaient jamais !

    ce merveilleux rve, un autre succda ;

    Tout est, dans la sainte cit ! Gloire et flicit !

    Aux chants, suivit la trve des joyeux Hosanna !


    Le ciel devient livide, le soleil sobscurcit,

    Jrusalem ! Jrusalem ! Tous les maux sont finis !

    Sur un monde perfide, descend la sombre nuit,

    Hosanna ! Amen ! Hosanna ! Que tes lieux soient bnis !

    Car, pour le roi des rois, lhomme lve une croix !

    Hosanna ! Oui Hosanna ! Que tes lieux soient bnis !
