:)
Oh my, oh my, oh my! Sorry for the muddle! Thanks for the correction, elegantly filling the gaps with poems, tailor.
"Fate is not a petty thing... " A curious poem because of its vindictive tone.
"Zaccheus climbed the tree," -Zaccheus is so representative of the seeking human.
"Because of Jesus my Lord, I can rejoice evermore"- the confidence of the believer.
"Come with rain, O loud Southwester!". "To the Thawing Wind" by Robert Frost (1874-1963).
re: "To the Thawing Wind": "Scatter poems on the floor;" ! Sounds like the poet Frost is tired of winter, and perhaps writing, lol. https://www.potw.org/archive/potw291.html Enjoyed :)

"GHOSTS of my fathers, while you keep". "An Epilogue".
https://www.theotherpages.org/poems/bestof1923a.html#15
An Epilogue
GHOSTS of my fathers, while you keep
On ghostly hills your ghostly sleep,
If for a moment you should turn
The pages of this book to learn
What trade your offspring's taken to,
Forgive me that my flocks and herds
Are only barren bleating words.

Sad, melancholy poem... enjoyed :)
