Souls And Rain-Drops

Sidney LanierContemplative

Light rain-drops fall and wrinkle the sea, Then vanish, and die utterly. One would not know that rain-drops fell If the round sea-wrinkles did not tell.

So souls come down and wrinkle life And vanish in the flesh-sea strife. One might not know that souls had place Were't not for the wrinkles in life's face.

Learn by heart: tap a gap

Light fall and wrinkle the sea,
Then vanish, and die .
