A lo lejos alz?banse los muros<br />
10de la ciudad teol?gica en que vive<br />
la sempiterna Paz. La negra barca<br />
lleg? a la ansiada costa y el sublime<br />
esp?ritu goz? la suma gracia:<br />
y vi? la cruz erguirse,<br />
15y hall? al pie de la sacra Vencedora<br />
el helado cad?ver de la Esfinge.<br />
Afar God's City rose,<br />
10Where everlasting Peace her throne has<br />
reared<br />
Above the poppy-meadows of repose;<br />
And as the coat of his desire he neared,<br />
He proved divine delight, knew grace untold,<br />
Beheld the Cross uplifted and, before<br />
15That sacred Conqueror,<br />
The fallen Sphinx, a corpse already cold.
