Messiah's Kingdom is a long poem by Agnes Bulmer.[1] It was published in 1833. It is regarded as the longest poem written by a woman.[2][3] It consists of some 14,000 lines grouped in twelve books. The poem is written in heroic couplet[4] but the introduction is made up of four 13-line stanzas like this one: Of Him, high raised on Heaven's stupendous throne, Beneath whose feet the sapphire pavement glows; O'er whose intensest splendours, dread, unknown, The beaming bow its milder radiance throws; Around whose state, in bright attendance, close The full-toned choir of harping cherubim. Seraphs, whose robes empyreal lights compose, And angels, breathing soft the' adoring hymn:— Of Him, Eternal, Infinite, Supreme, Fain would a mortal Muse, adventurous, sing; Him, for archangel minds too vast a theme, Who yet, when babes their meek hosannas bring, Inclines with gentlest grace, and veils in Mercy's wing. The poet was praised for "harmonious versification".[5] The poem was reviewed also in The Methodist Magazine and Quarterly Review.[6] References1. ^[https://18thcenturyculture.wordpress.com/primary-sources/agnes-bulmer/ Agnes Bulmer 18th at Century Religion, Literature, and Culture.] == Bibliography ==2. ^[https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bulmer,_Agnes_(DNB00) Richard Watson Dixon, Bulmer, Agnes at Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900, Volume 07.] 3. ^Andrew O.
