The hermits from their simple caresThe bell was calling home to prayers, And, listening to its sound, the twainSeemed lapped in childhood's trust again. Wide open stood the chapel door;A sweet old music, swelling o'erLow prayerful murmurs, issued thence, --The Litanies of Providence! Then Rousseau spake: "Where two or threeIn His name meet, He there will be!"And then, in silence, on their kneesThey sank beneath the chestnut-trees. As to the blind returning light, As daybreak to the Arctic night..., Old faith revived; the doubts of yearsDissolved in reverential tears. That gush of feeling overpast, "Ah me!" Bernardin sighed at last, I would thy bitterest foes could seeThy heart as it is seen of me! "No church of God hast thou denied;Thou hast but spurned in scorn asideA bare and hollow counterfeit, Profaning the pure name of it! "With dry dead moss and marish weedsHis fire the western herdsman feeds, And greener from the ashen plainThe sweet spring grasses rise again. "Nor thunder-peal nor mighty windDisturb the solid sky behind;And through the cloud the red bolt rendsThe calm, still smile of Heaven descends.
