TO FANNIE S. F.REFRESHMENT
Oh gentle cup which drops the dew upon the waiting earth
Bathing the tiny blades of grass, bringing them into fuller birth.
Oh waiting earth may the shower not delay
Thy stains of sin to wash away
And leave thee pure and clean
Regenerated, freed from all that is base, and mean
Stretch out thine arms and breathe again the air of heaven, O ye sons of men.
Bathing the tiny blades of grass, bringing them into fuller birth.
Oh waiting earth may the shower not delay
Thy stains of sin to wash away
And leave thee pure and clean
Regenerated, freed from all that is base, and mean
Stretch out thine arms and breathe again the air of heaven, O ye sons of men.
