THE WHITE CLOUD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: There are many clouds / but not like the one I see
Last Line: Whiter than anything your eyes remember.


THERE are many clouds
But not like the one I see,
For mine floats like a swan in featheriness
Over the River of the Broken Pine.
There are many clouds
But not like the one that goes sailing
Like a ship full of gold that shines,
Like a ship leaning above blue water.
There are many clouds
But not like the one I wait for,
For mine will have a strangeness
Whiter than anything your eyes remember.
