ALFRED BILLINGS STREET
American author and poet
(1811 - 1881)

Hope is the mainspring of human action; faith seals our lease of immortality; and charity and love give the passport to the soul's true and lasting happiness.
      - [Hope]

Now a cloud,
  Massive and black, strides up; the angry gleam
    Of the red lightning cleaves the frowning folds.
      - [Clouds]

The home of the homeless all over the earth.
      - [America]

The west with second pomp is bright
  Though in the east the dusk is thickening,
    Twilight's first star breaks forth in white,
      Into night's gold each moment quickening.
      - [Evening]

Wafted up,
  The stealing cloud with soft grey blinds the sky
    And in its vapory mantle onward steps
      The summer shower.
      - [Clouds]
