Explore "Clouds" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ All through the tepid Summer night / The starless sky had poured a cool / Monotony of pleasant rain / In music beautiful.
/ And for an hour I'd sat to watch / Clouds moving on majestic feet, / Had heard down avenues of night / Their hearts of thunder beat;
/ Saw ponderous limbs far-veined with gold / Pulse fiery life o'er wood and plain, / While scattered, fell from monstrous palms / The largess of the rain;
/ Beholding at each lightning's flash / The generous silver on the sod, / In meek devotion bowed, I thanked / These almoners of God.
