THE STORM KING TRAIL, by GRACE PATCHEN LEGGETT

Last Line: Leaving it fresh and gleaming.
Subject(s): Storms
First Line: Looming dark against the sky
Last Line: Leaving it fresh and gleaming.
Subject(s): Storms
Looming dark against the sky,
The great thunder cloud
As he passed the mountain by
Spread his garment wide,
And hov'ring low to rest
Over the Storm King's crest,
Beckoned the little rain maidens
To come to his breast.
They, heaving a gentle sigh,
Gathered their misty veils about them,
And caught in the folds of his robe
Floated far away with him.
All save a few tardy ones
Who, left behind, with tears streaming
Have watered the countryside,
Leaving it fresh and gleaming.
