Sw1ftrushiDg clouds one moment hide the moon,
Or veil her face with halfobscuring fringe;
The next, the night is lit like shining noon,
The clouds all gone swept from the skys clear lingo
OF azure aglow with myriad suns.
The ragged wheel-torn mud, warmed by the day,
Stiffens at touch of night keen, cruel wind
The balmy breezes of the seemed kind,
But made fresh victims for rough midnights play.
The door-latch CRATES at q robbers grasp;
The gate slams loudly in the itfu blast;
The smold ring embers on the hearth stone gasp
And flare alght. with blackness following fast
The blind is shaken by unseen hand
The solid house-walls creak with Zhostly sound;
The gale means sadly its lonely round,
And powers of darkness reign through all the land

For in the midst of it
Lowly God did sit,
It so in holy writ
Stands chronicled.

Flung wide the palm,
The joyful throngs between.
Over the boughs of gresn,s
He rode with humble mien
Divinely calm.
Aye, what were earthly prize

Foresaw the thorn;
Foresaw all things to be,

Gods triumph doth confess,
His heart the King shall bless
