<h3><SPAN name="Overcast_Sky" id="Overcast_Sky"></SPAN>Overcast Sky</h3>
<p class="margin-b">
Meseemeth thy glance, soft enshrouded with dew,<br/>
Thy mysterious eyes (are they grey, green or blue?),<br/>
Alternately cruel, and tender, and shy,<br/>
Reflect both the languor and calm of the sky.<br/>
<br/>
Thou recallest those white days—with shadows caressed,<br/>
Engendering tears from th' enraptured breast,<br/>
When racked by an anguish unfathomed that weeps,<br/>
The nerves, too awake, jibe the spirit that sleeps.<br/>
<br/>
At times—thou art like those horizons divine,<br/>
Where the suns of the nebulous seasons decline;<br/>
How resplendent art thou—O pasturage vast,<br/>
Illumed by the beams of a sky overcast!<br/>
<br/>
O! dangerous dame—oh seductive clime!<br/>
As well, will I love both thy snow and thy rime,<br/>
And shall I know how from the frosts to entice<br/>
Delights that are keener than iron and ice?<br/></p>
