Poems (Katz)/Refreshment

​
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.
