Far around The note resounded, " Ta ta ta tan tan ra ra/' Through echoing caverns, and down gorges deep, Till all the region round with clangor sweet Seemed circle-wise o'erflowing. Nearer and nearer, From strange, far countries not then known to be, By those in Europe or in Asia born, They came thus heralded by silver tromp; They came across the ocean of the west The Flight into Egypt. 133 The broad Atlantic not then crossed by men. 'Mong many curious things, they brought a flower, A mystic fl...ower, which seemed to symbolize Some great event, which, in the coming time, Should mold the world anew. Arrived at length, They greeted those upon the floating cloud, As angels greet each other when they meet; Then one approached, saluted thrice the Pair, Bowed three times to the Savior of the world And then, with earnest, kindly air, like one Who does a painful duty gracefully, But still against his will, he held the flower Before her view, reciting all the while Some verses, very sweet but somewhat sad, And full of most heart-thrilling mystery, Which hung, like drapery, around the theme, Neither concealing it in full from view, Nor quite revealing it.
