John Gardiner Calkins Brainard Quote

At the piping of all hands,
When the judgment-signal's spread—
When the islands and the lands
And the seas give up their dead,
And the South and North shall come;
When the sinner is dismayed,
And the just man is afraid,
Then Heaven be thy aid,
Poor Tom.

Lament for Long Tom, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
