THOUGHTS

Great thoughts sweep DER my waiting soul,
And in their wake leave not trace,
As shadows that in silence roll
Across some sunny open place,
To some unseen mysterious goal
And leave no sign on plain or knoll;
So these great thoughts run their swift race
And vanish into empty space.
But as they pass, the cooling shade
On my parched soul, most welcome falls,
And as each trembling grassy blade
Ger which the shadow lingering crawis,
Receives refreshing, SO each thought
To me with good. comes richly fraught.
