CLOUD SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Clouds and I, clouds and I
Last Line: Through the year together.
Subject(s): Clouds


Clouds and I, clouds and I,
Through the year together;
High and low, low and high,
Fair and cloudy weather.
Pouting now, smiling now,
Lips of clouds and my lips;
Wrinkled sky, wrinkled brow,
Eyes are wet and sky drips.
Singing sky, singing soul,
Thrushes sing and I sing;
Shafts of light through the whole
Heaven and earth uniting.
Clouds afloat, clouds a-heap,
Clouds in dances changing;
Clouds and I, half asleep,
Through the sweet sky ranging.
Clouds of red, clouds of gray,
Bursts of color-glory;
Rosy day, weeping day,
Shifting human story.
High and low, low and high,
Fair and stormy weather;
Clouds and I, clouds and I,
Through the year together.
