A poem by Henry Vaughan

The Shower

________________________________________________
Title:     The Shower
Author: Henry Vaughan [More Titles by Vaughan]

Waters above! eternal springs!
The dew that silvers the Dove's wings!
O welcome, welcome to the sad!
Give dry dust drink; drink that makes glad!
Many fair ev'nings, many flow'rs
Sweeten'd with rich and gentle showers,
Have I enjoy'd, and down have run
Many a fine and shining sun;
But never, till this happy hour,
Was blest with such an evening-shower!






[The end]
