A poem by Sidney Lanier

Souls and Rain-Drops

________________________________________________
Title:     Souls and Rain-Drops
Author: Sidney Lanier [More Titles by Lanier]

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.




-THE END-
Sidney Lanier's poem: Souls and Rain-Drops
