First sentence: LYING out under the Syrian skies, where the great watch-stars burned like night-lamps which Jehovah had lighted and swung there in the dusky dome, that his children might not be fearful in the dark; looking with wistful eyes into the somber deeps, where, as the sun went down, the Spirit of Vastness seemed to bend over the earth and fold all men and things in its shadowy bosom, the Shepherd-poet, with the infinite faith of a little child, "prattles of his tiny life to the Creator of the ends of the earth," and signs into speech the music that croons in his soul.
