YOU by ISABEL ECCLESTONE MACKAY

First Line: SLANTING RAIN AND A SKY OF GRAY
Last Line: AND YOU—AT HOME!
Subject(s): ABSENCE; GRIEF; LOVE; RAIN; WATER; SEPARATION; ISOLATION; SORROW; SADNESS;
SLANTING rain and a sky of gray,
Drifting mist and a wind astray,
The leaden end of a leaden day
And you—away!

Light in the west! The sky's pale dome
Gemmed with a star; a scented gloam
Of bursting buds and rain-wet loam
And you—at home!
