THE OPEN WORLD by HARRY HIBBARD KEMP

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.
