Bronze (Johnson)/Promise

PROMISE
Through the moil and the gloom they have issuedTo the steps of the upwinding hill,Where the sweet, dulcet pipes of tomorrowIn their preluding rhapsodies trill.
With a thud comes a stir in the bosom,As there steals on the sight from afar,Through a break of a cloud's coiling shadowThe gleam of a bright morning star!
