Song
THE clouds are bunched roses,
And the bunches seem
As thick as cream,
Country dozes and I dream.
In a gown like a cauliflower.
My country cousin is --
So said Susie
And her sister Liz.
Blossoms hang on trees above,
Soft and thick as any dove,
They mock my love;
Yet I pluck those feathers sweet
With my cold coral hands so like the
Small cold feet
Of a little sad bird,
On a budding branch heard.
