The Cumaean Sibyl

(Sibila Cumea)

Peace and abundant fruit will there be from Heaven
For six years before his birth and, thereafter,
For another six will it know no end on earth.
Oh, wonder! For the wolf, the sheep and the lamb will dine
Together; the Son of Man and the dragon will live
Side by side without fear, without tears, or cries, or lamentation;
The lynx will spare the goats and kids,
For Our Lord will guard and raise them in peace.
