JOHN BANISTER TABB
American gnomic poet, teacher and Catholic priest
(1845 - 1909)

Out of the dusk a shadow,
  Then a spark;
    Out of the cloud a silence,
      Then a lark;
        Out of the heart a rapture,
          Then a pain;
            Out of the dead, cold ashes,
              Life again.
      - Evolution [Evolution]

A flash of harmless lightning,
  A mist of rainbow dyes,
    The burnished sunbeams brightening
      From flower to flower he flies.
      - Humming Bird [Hummingbirds]

Hush!
  With sudden gush
    As from a fountain sings in yonder bush
      The Hermit Thrush.
      - Overflow [Thrushes]
