First Line: Behold, in summer's parching thirst
Last Line: The will of heaven abide.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Nature


Behold, in summer's parching thirst,
The while the waters pass them by,
The hills, like Tantalus accurst,
In silent anguish lie;
Nor look they to the lowly vale
Wherein their famished shadows glide,
But, with uplifted glances pale,
The will of heaven abide.
