THE COMING OF THE STORM. TWO PICTURES: 1, by                    
First Line: The far off clouds are one dark purple mass
Last Line: In yellow splendor on the river grass.
Subject(s): Storms; Wellesley College


THE far off clouds are one dark purple mass
Reflected darker in the stream near by;
Between, are willows light against the sky
And pointing downward in the stream's clear glass.
The sun's last rays are powerless to pass
Into that cloud-heap dense, but, ere they die,
Gild gently the pale willow leaves, and lie
In yellow splendor on the river grass.
