O’er sea and land, and last for aye and aye.”

“So thou wouldst build the throne?” again the Boy

Half musing spoke. Across His face once more

The Shadow fell; and, as he stood, His hands

He lifted up and out, as if in prayer.

Another Shadow fell upon the ground,

The arms and body strangely like a Cross.

Fidus was silent till the prayer was done.

The sun now set, and all the shadows passed.

They, arm in arm, ran fast to Joseph’s house.
