PSALM 104, SELECTION by RICHARD BLACKMORE

Poet Analysis

First Line: HE MEASURES ALL THE DROPS WITH WONDROUS SKILL
Last Line: SAY, WHICH CæRULEAN PILE WAS BY THY HAND UNROLL'D?

I

HE measures all the drops with wondrous skill,
Which the black clouds, His floating bottles, fill.

II

Didst Thou one end of air's wide curtain hold,
And help the bales of ether to unfold?
Say, which cærulean pile was by Thy hand unroll'd?
