THE HERALD

'Seven tribes' in confusion
Not knowing which way to go
Their leaders read their scriptures
But still they did not know.

Then there appeared a 'Herald' In 1844
'The Bab' said He had a message
The world had been waiting for
He said,

A 'Universal messenger'
Would very soon appear
To start 'A New and Wondrous age'
But sadly it caused the people
To turn on him in rage.

And so they killed the messenger
A kind and peaceful soul
His life on earth brought to an end
He had fulfilled His role.

'Seven hundred and fifty Bullets'
Tore His Body to shreds
It was duty noted
No Bullets touched His head.

Nineteen years later
'The Bab's' words became true
'The Prince of Peace' Baha'u'uah
His Life, His Book, His teachings
Are here for all to view.
