Lo! on the Madian plains his wearied feet Leave their unsandaled traces--and anon His memory grasps the vision once did greet The Hebrew shepherd's eye, when haloes shone High o'er the flaming shrub, ere yet upon The consecrated spot his steps had trod; Ere yet Jehovah's mandate forth had gone, To test his soul's pure faith and trust in God, And the great deep should move obedient to his rod.
