Denied

 The winds came out of the west one day, 
And hurried the clouds before them; 
And drove the shadows and mists away, 
And over the mountains bore them.
And I wept, 'Oh, wind, blow into my mind, Blow into my soul and heart, And scatter the clouds that hang lile shrouds, And make the shadows depart.
' The rain came out of th eleaden skies And beat on the earth's cold bosom.
It said to the sleeping grass, 'Arise, ' And the young buds sprang in blossom.
And I wept in pain, 'Oh, blessed rain, Beat into my heart to-day; Thaw out the snows that are chilling it so, Till it blossoms in hope, I pray.
' The sunshine fell on the bare-armed trees, In a wonderful sheen of glory; And the young leaves rustled and sang to the breeze, And whispered a love-fraught story.
And 'Sun, oh, shine on this heart of mine, And woo it to life, ' I cried; But the wind, and sun, and rain, each one The coveted boon denied
