WEATHER-BREEDER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Ah, not to know that such a happiness
Last Line: Alone could mother misery like this!
Alternate Author Name(s): Howells, W. D.
Subject(s): Pain; Suffering; Misery


Ah, not to know that such a happiness
To be wished greater were to be made less;
That one drop more must make it spill in tears
Of agony that blisters and that sears;
That the supreme perfection of thy bliss
Alone could mother misery like this!
