ABSOLVED by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: FAR FLOATING O'ER ITS NATIVE FEN
Last Line: OF RADIANT REST, APPEARS.
Subject(s): CLOUDS; MARY MAGDALEN; WOMEN - BIBLE; MARY MAGDALENE;

FAR floating o'er its native fen,
The evening Cloud, like Magdalen --
Her penitential tears
Assuaged of Love, her sins forgiven --
Upborne upon a waveless heaven
Of radiant rest, appears.
