The doorkeepera of Zion
They do not always stand In helmet and whole armour
With halberde in their hand But, being free of Zion
And all her mysteries, They rest swhile in Zion, Ay even joat in Zion,
In Zion at their esee."
The gatekeepers of Baal
They dare not sit or lean, But fume and fretsid

And foam and curse between; For being bound to Baal
Whose sacrifics in vain, Their rest is scant with Bael;" They glare and pant for Baal, They mouth and rant for Bisi,
For Baal in their pain.
But we will go to Ziua
By choice and not through
dread, With these car present comradee, And those our pre-ent dead; And, being free of Zion.
