VER PERPETUM, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The early year's fast-flying vapour stray
Last Line: Screen'd by those clouds and cherish'd by those showers!
Subject(s): Faith; Belief; Creed


The early Year's fast-flying Vapours stray
In shadowing Trains across the orb of Day:
And we, poor Insects of a few short Hours,
Deem it a world of Gloom.
Were it not better hope a nobler doom,
Proud to believe that with more active powers
On rapid many-coloured Wing
We thro' one bright perpetual Spring
Shall hover round the Fruits and Flowers
Screen'd by those Clouds and cherish'd by those Showers!
