A brother and a budding prophet seer
Nephi’s overcome with his affliction
The falling of his people is made clear 
In vision of their painful self destruction

His faithless brothers continue in their hardness
When asked, have ye inquired of the Lord? 
They say the Lord makes no thing known unto us
We cannot by ourselves receive his word

Attempting to expound the visions meaning 
The tree, the rod, the gulf of water too 
Their eyes are blind, their ears are hard of hearing
They’ve not applied their hearts to heavens view

The wicked are rejected, not the righteous 
From the tree of life, whose fruit is precious.
