THE SHOWER, by JOHN BANISTER TABB 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PRESENCES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE CLOUDHERD'S SONG by ROBERT KELLY THE IMPRESSMENT by WILLIAM MEREDITH THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE OCEAN by STEPHEN DOBYNS THE SACHEM OF THE CLOUDS (A THANKSGIVING LEGEND) by ROBERT FROST A PORTRAIT OF MY ROOF by JAMES GALVIN ABOVE AND WITHIN by DAVID IGNATOW ANONYMOUS by JOHN BANISTER TABB |
