Where the Lowly and Just with the people sat down,

And thy spray on the dust of His sandals was thrown.

Beyond are Bethulia’s[414] mountains of green,

And the desolate hills of the wild Gadarene[415];

And I pause on the goat-crags of Tabor[416] to see

The gleam of thy waters, O dark Galilee!

3. There sleep the still rocks and the caverns which rang

To the song which the beautiful prophetess sang,

When the princes of Issachar[417] stood by her side,

And the shout of a host in its triumph replied.
