Nature

The Clouds Cannot Last Forever

by Cora C. Bass 1868–1928

From Poems (1899)

Nature

The clouds cannot last forever, my friend,
To-day or to-morrow the sun must shine;
The heaviest showers must have an end,
For that is the Will Divine.
Our hearts are heavy when clouds hang low
And tempests of sorrow sweep the land;
But sooner or later they all must go,
And then we shall understand.
