AFTER THE RAIN, by HELEN HAYS HUTTON
First Line: Silver shadows on a clean blue sky
Last Line: That god mirrored heaven in this gutter pool?
Subject(s): Rain
First Line: Silver shadows on a clean blue sky
Last Line: That god mirrored heaven in this gutter pool?
Subject(s): Rain
Silver shadows on a clean blue sky
Tinge with saffron when the rain is by;
Poised aloft on a gleaming wing
Drifts a bird, like a sail a-fling;
Lacy leaves on a rain-washed bough
Etch their pattern; I wonder, now,
Was it only by chance or by some fast rule
That God mirrored Heaven in this gutter pool?
