There came an army from the sky,
And surged across the parched plain;
I saw the hurrying hosts go by–
The blue batallions of the rain.
O mighty army (bringing peace!)
How bright your helmets seemed to shine!
You cavalcades brought glad release,
For God was Captain of the line!
(Charles Hanson Towne)
