 | Israel in Egypt |  |
Thereat, from out the windows a great sound
Of voices flew,—all calling eagerly,
Yet all confused,—voice 'gainst voice clamoring,
That word distinct was none. One man, at length,
The hubbub lessening, with great power spake out
The bidding of the king.
Of voices flew,—all calling eagerly,
Yet all confused,—voice 'gainst voice clamoring,
That word distinct was none. One man, at length,
The hubbub lessening, with great power spake out
The bidding of the king.
His words to hear,
The people ceased their wailing. When they had heard,
Glad were they; and a feeble shout sent up:
Then, toward the well-known house of Aaron, some,
Stretching their arms, 'gan grope along the way.

Glad were they; and a feeble shout sent up:
Then, toward the well-known house of Aaron, some,
Stretching their arms, 'gan grope along the way.
