XXVIII
One summer eve Apollos soughtThe bedside of a dying boy;
Unearthly comfortings he brought,
And changed the trembling plaint to joy.
His prayer arose on lyric wings
That seemed to challenge angel flights;
His psalm resounded like the strings
Of golden harps on Eden's heights;
And ere he left the mourning hearth
To follow paths that seraphs flee,
A grateful soul had 'scaped from earth
And pain and sin and such as he.
