The Lesson of Trust.
67

And straightway out of a million throats
Lifted a million musical notes,
And all in a moment, as if at a word,
The sleeping cattle awoke and stirred;

And rock and river and plain and hill
With jubilant life began to thrill,
While yet no human eye could mark
The spirit of dawn within the dark!
