A PROPHECY.
With lifted head and high prophetic mouthHalf-opened, in the days of nations' drouth
She gave her voice to heaven; and all the land
Stood round expectant, as the people stand
To hear a Sibyl speak of peace or war.
So in those summer days did she declare
Rain upon Earth; and as the people prayed
Long, loudly and prophetically brayed.
