THE RAIN AND THE DEW by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THOU HAST FALLEN,' SAID THE DEWDROP
Last Line: "MY NATIVE HOME, THE SKY."
Subject(s): SKY;
"Thou hast fallen," said the dewdrop
To a sister drop of rain,
"But wilt thou, wedded with the dust,
In banishment remain?"

"Nay, dewdrop, but anon with thee --
The lowlier born than I --
Uplifted shall I seek again
My native home, the sky."
