About this work

Author: Unknown

III. And I was astonished at these words,

‹ Section 2 Section 4 ›

and

at

the

voice

that

spake

these

things

to

me

.

And

as

I

prayed

,

behold

two

trees

sprang

up

out

of

the

earth

,

fair

and

beautiful

,

laden

with

fragrant

fruits

.

And

the

tree

on

this

side

bent

down

and

received

me

on

its

top

,

and

was

lifted

up

exceedingly

above

the

middle

of

the

river

,

and

the

other

tree

met

me

and

received

me

in

its

branches

and

bending

down

set

me

on

the

ground

;

and

both

trees

were

lifted

up

and

set

me

away

from

the

river

on

the

other

side

.

In

that

place

I

rested

three

days

,

and

arising

again

I

went

forward

,

whither

I

knew

not

,

and

that

place

was

filled

with

much

fragrance

,

and

there

was

no

mountain

on

either

hand

,

but

the

place

was

level

and

flowery

,

all

crowned

with

garlands

,

and

all

the

land

beautiful

.
