• The Clouds

I am the daughter of Earth and Water,
And the nursling of the Sky;
I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores;
I change, but I cannot die.
For after the rain when with never a stain
The pavilion of Heaven is bare,
And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams
Build up the blue dome of air,
I silently laugh at my own cenotaph,
And out of the caverns of rain,
Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb,
I arise and unbuild it again.

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers
From the seas and from the streams
I bear light shade for the leaves when laid
In their noonday dreams
From my wings are shaken the dews that waken
The sweet buds every one
When rocked to rest on their mother's breast
As she dances about the sun.
I wield the flail of the lashing hail
And whiten the green plains under
And then again I dissolve it in rain
And laugh as I pass in thunder

I am the daughter of Earth and Water
And the nursling of the sky
I pass through the pores of the oceans and shores
I change, but I cannot die
For after the rain, when it never a stain
The pavilion of heaven is bare
And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams
Build up the blue dome of air
I silently laugh at my own cenotaph
And out of the caverns of rain.
Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb
I unrise and unbuilt it again
