First Line: Drouth, of an hunger famished
Last Line: Dews by no dawn dispersed.
Subject(s): Drought
Drouth, of an hunger famished
Harvests the stillborn grain,
Gathers the withered garden,
Sickles the barren plain.
Drouth, of a fever stricken
Quaffs for a quenchless thirst
Rains that have never fallen,
Dews by no dawn dispersed.
