But there’s never a song in it all!

The Angelus

Suggested by Millet’s painting with this title

Far through the lilac sky the Angelus bell

Brings back again the hail of Gabriel.

Its refluent, three-fold, immemorial rhyme

Follows the fading sun, from clime to clime—

Ripples and lives a moment in the heart,

Wherever the dark hours come and the bright depart.

From land to fading land, the whole world round,
