We awoke
as if from a long slumber
to the serenade
of birds long departed
--- no grander praise.
We saw the dawn
bathing the grassy hillocks
in cool splendor
and sat in disbelief
at the sight.
For at once,
the shadow was gone,
the dull oppression;
the despairing had been but a
wish of cloud.
The darkness of that ninth hour
broke in the gloaming
of a new day
--- the Lord's Day.
