Souls And Rain-Drops by Sidney Lanier

Light rain-drops fall and wrinkle the sea,

Then vanish, and die utterly.

One would not know that rain-drops fell

If the round sea-wrinkles did not tell.



So souls come down and wrinkle life

And vanish in the flesh-sea strife.

One might not know that souls had place

Were't not for the wrinkles in life's face.
