THUNDERSTORMS



My mind has thunderstorms,

That brood for heavy hours:

Until they rain me words,

My thoughts are drooping flowers

And sulking, silent birds.



Yet come, dark thunderstorms,

And brood your heavy hours;

For when you rain me words,

My thoughts are dancing flowers

And joyful singing birds.



STRONG MOMENTS



Sometimes I hear fine ladies sing,

Sometimes I smoke and drink with men;

Sometimes I play at games of cards—

Judge me to be no strong man then.



The strongest moment of my life

Is when I think about the poor;

When, like a spring that rain has fed,

My pity rises more and more.



The flower that loves the warmth and light,

Has all its mornings bathed in dew;

My heart has moments wet with tears,

My weakness is they are so few.



A GREETING



Good morning, Life—and all

Things glad and beautiful.

My pockets nothing hold,

But he that owns the gold,

The Sun, is my great friend—

His spending has no end.



Hail to the morning sky,

Which bright clouds measure high;

Hail to you birds whose throats

Would number leaves by notes;

Hail to you shady bowers,

And you green fields of flowers.
