“CLOUDS”

Clouds all like silver lambs

On low green hills,
Feeding on blue meadows
Watered by rills.
Clouds are like snowy dawn
Playing with winds;
Clouds are small, willful clues
With playful minds.

Clouds are huge butterflies

Radiant with rays;
Clouds are beasts of the wilds
On stormy days.
Clouds are the sky giants
Their tears are rain
Dropping on leafy plants
Down the plain
