Mist
Low-anchored cloud,
Newfoundland air,
Fountain head and source of rivers,
Dew-cloth, dream drapery,
And napkin spread by fays;
Drifting meadow of the air,
Where bloom the dasied banks and violets,
And in whose fenny labyrinth
The bittern booms and heron wades;
Spirit of the lake and seas and rivers,
Bear only purfumes and the scent
Of healing herbs to just men's fields!
P- The poem Mist is describing everything they see in nature whether its good or bad.
C- Healing Herbs has a meaning of how nature is the only thing that can heal spirits
A- The tone in the poem is kind up uplifting but at the same time saddening,
