AFTER DROUGHT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: There came an army from the sky
Last Line: For god was captain of the line!
Subject(s): Rain


THERE came an army from the sky,
And surged across the parched plain;
I saw the hurrying hosts go by --
The blue battalions of the rain.

O mighty army (bringing peace!)
How bright your helmets seemed to shine!
Your cavalcades brought glad release,
For God was Captain of the line!
