As Morpheus my senses in slumber did drown,
I dreamt I was climbing Horeb's holy mound,
Where Moses was chosen Grand Master in love
By the Great Architect in Heaven above.

With trembling, fear, and wonder, I did gaze
To see a bush a-burning all by a mighty blaze.
My bones they did shudder and feeble was my frame
When a dreadful fiery serpent right forward to me came.

I looked on death approaching, with terror, dread, and grief
Then called then on goodness to grant me some relief.
When to my great astonishment, a voice unto me said
Come take up the serpent and do not be afraid.

I then became a pilgrim, to travel night and day,
I took the rod of God to guide me on my way,
Over high hills and mountains bound for the temple bright,
'Til I came into Jerusalem, that city of delight.

I saw the Knights of Malta in shining armour bright
Surround the sons of darkness that cast away the light
I crossed the river Jordan, and Jericho likewise,
To lovely Mount Zion where sweet odours scent the skies.

I enlisted as a soldier to fight for Christian liberty
Against the Turk and heathen and all idolatry
To all our faithful battles Jehovah lent a hand
To Gideon brave and Joshua who caused the sun to stand.

I travelled through Mount Ararat and fair Armenia's land
From that to Enoch's temple where I saw two pillars grand.
I knocked upon the jasper gates, admittance there I sought,
Through many coloured arches till I found the secret vault

With torches burning round me in one continued blaze
Where I saw the mystery and on it carefully gazed.
When to my astonishment two fiery dragons came,
And in the height of my surprise I woke out of my dream.
