DESERT-ORBS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The world, they tell us, dwindles
Last Line: A memory of dew!
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Sympathy; Empathy


The world, they tell us, dwindles
When matched with other spheres;
And yet in all their amplitudes
No place for human tears.
How sterile is the sunshine,
How masculine the blue,
That breeds no shadow, nor betrays
A memory of dew!
