AN INFLUENCE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I see thee - heaven's unclouded face
Last Line: The bitterness of mine.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): God; Love


I SEE thee, -- heaven's unclouded face
A vacancy around thee made,
Its sunshine a subservient grace
Thy lovelier light to shade.

I feel thee, as the billows feel
A river freshening the brine;
A life's libation poured to heal
The bitterness of mine.
