THE KOBZAR OF THE UKRAINE
On comes Mark,
knows not of worry;
But he's come
Give God the glory!
The gate he opens,
Praising God.
"Hear'st thou, Katherine?
Run to meet him!
Already he's come,
Haste to greet him!
Quickly bring him in to me.
Glory to Thee, my Saviour dear,
All the strength has come from Thee."
And she "Our Father" softly said
Just as if in dream she read.
The old man the team unyokes,
Lays away the carven yokes.
Kate at her husband strangely looks.
"Where's Anna, Katherine?
I've been careless!
She's not dead?"
"No, not dead,
But very sick and calls for thee."
On the threshold Mark appears,
Standing there as torn by fears.
But Anna whispers, "Be not afraid,
Glory to God, Who my fears allayed.
