POETS’ ENVY FOR PAINTERS
tune: OH JERUSALEM)
–
The other night I saw the clouds
In the western sky…
One side was all golden,
The other…grey and white:
The white was stark against the grey
In huge cotton balls,
The right side…golden sun came through
As of from Heaven’s halls…
From the right side, golden light came through
As if from Heaven’s halls!
–
The sunset clouds,
Those sunset clouds…
Changing as we speak!
So hard to describe in poetic terms.
Except with tongue-in-cheek!
–
The scene kept changing as I watched,
The golden slowly dies,
Cotton candy darkened
While lit up from inside…
The cloud bank slowly lost its light
While lit gold from inside!
–
Oh sunset cloud,
Oh sunset clouds,
Covering God’s holy light!
Keep changing into the darkness
Providing an art’s delight…
Keep changing ito darkness…
Providing artistic delight!!!!!
