1200 miles it's
length and breadth
That four -square city stands
It's gem -set walls of jasper shines
Not made with human hands
100 miles its gates are wide
In that great city fair
With 50 miles of elbow room
On either side to spare
When the gates swing wide
on the other side,
just beyond the sunset sea,
There'll be room to spare
as we enter there,
room for you and room for me.
For the gates are wide on the other side,
where the flowers ever bloom,
On the right hand, on the left hand,
fifty miles of Bilbo Room.
That four -square city I shall see
when done with toiling time
Sometimes it seems
I almost hear the bells of glory chime
This will be mine when I shall pass
into that city fair
With fifty miles of elbow room
on either side to spare
When the gates swing wide
on the other side,
just beyond the sunset sea
There'll be room to spare
as we enter their room
For you and room for me
For the gates are wide on the other side
Where the flowers ever bloom
On the right hand, on the left hand
Fifty miles of elbow room
Sometimes I'm cramped
and crowded here
And long for elbow room
I long to reach some altitude
where feral flowers bloom
This will be mine when I shall pass
through yonder gate so fair
With fifty miles of elbow room
on either side to spare
When the gates swing wide
on the other side,
just beyond the sunset sea
There'll be room to spare
as we enter there,
room for you and room for me
For the gates are right on the other side,
where the flowers ever bloom.
On the right hand, on the left hand,
fifty miles of El Dorado.
