TRANSFIGURATION by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THE CLOUD UNTO ITS PARENT STREAM
Last Line: IN EVERY TIDE OF TEARS.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
The cloud unto its parent stream
That rushes to the sea
Reveals a far-reflected dream
Of heaven's tranquillity;
And unto faith's adoring sight
A mystery appears, --
A cloud transfigured of the light
In every tide of tears.
