Summer's Silver Cup

A Cento by Beverly Stock.

Ah! What is this upon my window pane?

Some sulky, drooping cloud comes popping up,

Stamping its glittering feet along the plain!

Well, I will let that idle fancy drop,

Oh, how the spouts are bubbling with the rain!

And all the earth shines like a silver cup! (1)



(1) Summer by George MacDonald, last six lines of a poem in the public domain.
