The sky opened unresistingly
To fleet clouds;
There was gaiety—
Unlasting.
We must find summer
Reared on four columns,
A day high-vaulted
Where footfalls resound.
Not these false vapours
That a festival
Or a fair chance that befalls
Seem to send into the sky—
That at once descry
And far off hail
The storm that calls.
