THE colour of the olives who shall say?
In winter on the yellow earth they're blue,
A wind can change the green to white or grey,
But they are olives still in every hue;

But they are olives always, green or white,
As love is love in torment or delight;
But they are olives, ruffled or at rest,
As love is always love in tears or jest.
