Come


Where the dreams come in from the rush and the din Like sheep from the rains and the thunder. —William Stanley Braithwaite	1
As the birds come in the Spring, We know not from where; As the stars come at evening From depths of the air; As the rain comes from the cloud, And the brook from the ground; As suddenly, low or loud, Out of silence a sound; As the grape comes to the vine, The fruit to the tree; As the wind comes to the pine, And the tide to the sea; As come the white sails of ships O’er the ocean’s verge; As comes the smile to the lips, The foam to the surge; So come to the Poet his songs, All hitherward blown From the misty realm, that belongs To the vast Unknown. —Henry W. Longfellow	2
Airy tinklings come and go, Like chimings from far off tower, Or prattling of an April shower, That makes the daisies grow. —Mrs. Agnes E. Mitchell	3
Cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down. —Old Testament	4
