THE OPEN WORLD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I am swept with the storm of life
Last Line: Where tempests are bred.
Subject(s): Storms


I AM swept with the storm of life,
I shake and sway like a tree—
For all the winds of all the world
Sweep over me.

I toss my boughs to the clouds
That drive high over my head.
Right glad am I for the open sky
Where tempests are bred.
