He raised young Julian from the sand, and such

Strange power of healing dwelt within the touch,

That his weak limbs grew light with freshened Power,

As he had slept not fainted in that hour,

And woke from Slumber—as the Birds awake,

Recalled at morning from the branchéd brake,

When the day's promise heralds early Spring,

And Heaven unfolded woos their soaring wing:

So Julian felt, and gazed upon his Guide,

With honest Wonder what might next betide.
