With blowing winds your wat'ry frames I call, on mother Earth with fruitful show'rs to fall.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theoi.com/Text/OrphicHymns1.html">The Hymns of Orpheus.
