SURGE ET AMBULA, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Arise and walk' - the one voice said
Last Line: Arise, and walk!'
Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin
Subject(s): Miracles


'ARISE, and walk' -- the One Voice said;
And lo! the sinews shrunk and dry
Lossed, and the cripple leaped on high,
Wondering, and bare aloft his bed.

The Age of Miracle is fled.
Who to the halt to-day shall cry --
'Arise, and walk!'

Yet though the Power to raise the dead
Treads earth no more, we still may try
To smooth the couch where sick men lie,
Whispering -- to hopeless heart and head --
'Arise, and walk!'
