He led the son of Tobit to his bride,

And the lad's dog went leaping after them.

The little winds that in those sunrise-flushed,

Fleet plumes had nestled, to the harpstrings flew

To learn gold melodies for May, but hushed

Was all that glory till a Voice pealed through:

"Mine Angel Raphael, of the Holy Seven

Who lift the prayers of saints before the Throne,

What wild, unworded anguish troubles Heaven,

To man's appeal the wailing undertone?
