Then, The Bells Rang Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Then
The bells rang
Then
The chapel lighted
Then
The country lanes in the dust
Then
The horse was heard coming
Then
The hooves were heard beating
Then
The dust was seen flying:
Then
The seas dark were moon shining
Then
The horseman crossed the edge
Then
He dropped slow into the sea and safe
Then
The horseman and horse walked on the sea
Then
Night when they passed yielded to Dawn
Then
The legend had been consummated.
