AFTER DROUGHT, by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE 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! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DISTANT RAINFALL by ROBINSON JEFFERS CHAMBER MUSIC: 32 by JAMES JOYCE HEAVY SUMMER RAIN by JANE KENYON CROWD CORRALLING by MARGARET AVISON THE RAIN-POOL by KARLE WILSON BAKER ON THE GREAT ATLANTIC RAINWAY by KENNETH KOCH CITY ROOFS by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE |
