English poem
Ii
by R. D. Blackmore (1825–1900)
As when the mantled heavens display The glory of the morning glow, And spread the mountain heights with day, And bid the clouds and shadows go Trooping away,
The Spirit of the Lord arose, And made the earth and heaven to quiver, And scattered all his hellish foes, And deigned his good stock to deliver From all their woes.
So long the twain had strayed apart, That each as at a marvel gazed, With eyes abashed, and brain amazed; While heart enquired of heart.
