Israel in Egypt

A Poem. By Edwin Atherstone

Thus Moses; Aaron also, and the priests
And Elders, throughout all the city went,
And in the lands around,—the downcast hearts
Uplifting; the weak strengthening; the blind
Teaching to see, on the dark Orient's rim,
Dawn's tinge; though faint, yet heralding bright day.
