cloud came over a land of leaves
OOH hush little leaves, lest II pass you by D.
How they had waited and watched for the rain
Mountain and valley and vineyard and plain,
With never a sign from the sky
Day after day had the pitiless sun
Looked down with a lidIess eye
But nowi on sudden a whisper went
Through the topmost twgs Of the poplar spire;
out OF the east a light wind blew;
(All the leaves trembled, and nurmured, ana
drew
Hope TO the help of desired;
1t stirred the faint pulse Of the forest tree,
And breathec through the brake and the briar.
Slowly the cloud came, and then the wind died,
Dumb lay the land in its hot suspense
The thrush on the elm Dough suddenly stopped
The Weather-warned swallow in mid-nying
dropped.
Mute the cloud moved, till il hung overhead,
Heavy. big-bosomed and dense.
All the cool rush through tine dry-tongued trees.
Z he patter and plash the thirsty earth,
The eager buhbling Of runnel and rill,
The lispirg OF leaves that have drunk their fill,
The freshness that follows the dearth!
New life for the woodland. the vineyard. the
New life with the worlds new BIRTH
