Poetry and the poor and a foundling christening
An Abilene Reflector excerpt mixes a vivid poem about beauty and despair with a prose tale of a foundling baby and a New England christening party. Captain Weatherby and his wife host a quiet, humane ceremony, while a minister’s prayers are playfully redirected as the ship metaphor unfolds. The event ends with a touching couplet on parental care and divine shelter.
