Poems (Angier)/Something for Somebody

by Annie Lanman Angier

SOMETHING FOR SOMEBODY.

Something? Yes, something truly thou art,
Something and much to somebody's heart;
The gray east glows with the rosy dawn,
Something shines, and the day is born.

Something? Yes, something truly thou art,
Something and much to somebody's heart;
The dark wintry clouds wear somberest hue,
Something smiles, and the sky is blue.

Something? Yes, something truly thou art,
Something and much to somebody's heart;
For like a calm, starlit summer even,
Something breathes ever of peace, hope, heaven.
