Clouds


The fair, frail palaces, The fading Alps and archipelagoes, And great cloud-continents of sunset-seas. Aldrich.—Poems: Miracles.	1
I saw two clouds at morning, Tinged by the rising sun, And in the dawn they floated on, And mingled into one. John G. C. Brainard.—I saw Two Clouds at Morning.	2

The hooded clouds, like friars, Tel their beads in drops of rain. Longfellow.—Midnight Mass for the Dying Year.	4
They are fair resting-places For the dear weary dead on their way up to heaven. Joaquin Miller.—Ina, Scene 1.	5
