The After Part

The After Part
2084

After the showers the tranquil sun;
Silver stars when the day is done
After the snow the emerald leaves:
After the harvest, golden sheaves:
After the clouds, the violet sky;
Quiet woods when the wind goes by
After the tempest, the lull of waves;
After the battle, peaceful graves
Joyful greetings from sad farewells
After the bud, the radiant rose;
After our weeping, sweet pose
