And as they talked the sultry air began
To stir itself for sunrise: the large woods
Were crisp and cloudy, ere the crystal grew,
Upon the olive-shadow'd ridge beyond
In sacred dawn upon an evil world.
But Agnes slept, and in her peaceful rest
No angel whisper'd caution to her dream.
To stir itself for sunrise: the large woods
Were crisp and cloudy, ere the crystal grew,
Upon the olive-shadow'd ridge beyond
In sacred dawn upon an evil world.
But Agnes slept, and in her peaceful rest
No angel whisper'd caution to her dream.
