What of the night? From out the darkling
cave
One flash has flooded all the olive grove;
Beiore the mall-clad guardians of the grave,
uaim as a star those sealed gates above,
Culm as the morning star that sailors

Bailors and those that watch the feverish
night.
He shines, and never more shall darkness

Over the hopeless nations, since, in sight
Ui men and angels, mounts tbe long ex
