1845-1909 / the United States

Fugitives

To-night, far inland from the sea,
The winds, a frighted Legion, flee
With wailings of distress;
While Cataracts from many a steep
Plunge, headlong, foaming to the deep,
To drown their restlessness.
Anon, where each has passed away,
The shaken reed, the scattered spray.
