THE SHOWER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Against the royal blue
Last Line: With her maternal clay.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Clouds


Against the royal blue
A mist rebellious flew --
A night-born, wind-uplifted shade
That for an angry moment stayed,
Then wept itself away.

The earth with moistened eyes
Beholds the sunlit skies
Again, but never to forget
The cloud whose life-drops mingle yet
With her maternal clay.
