THE GLORY OF GRAY by CHRISTINE F. BRONSON

First Line: GRAY OF THE MOSS AND GRAY OF THE ROCKS
Last Line: GLORY OF GRAY, MILD AND TENDER.
Subject(s): GRAY (COLOR); GREY (COLOR);
Gray of the moss and gray of the rocks,
And gray of the sea-birds feather;
Gray of the mist and the hovering sky,
Soft gray of the tranquil weather.

Gray of the plume and gray of the pearl,
Gray of the silk worm's spinning;
Gray of the cradle where jewels bed,
And gray of the dawn's beginning.

Blessing of gray unto tired eyes,
A foil for the rainbow's splendor;
Beauty of gray in the ash of flame.
Glory of gray, mild and tender.
