Subject(s): Fog; Haze
Oh most folks like the cheerful sunshine bright,
Their spirits soar on lifting wings of gay days,
I like the pleasant sorrow of a gray haze
On shadowed cool and blurry misty night.
When ragged flags are flung from cloudy height.
My mood tires of perpetual noisy heydeys,
I like it when a hooded army waylays
And strips the brazen gaudy day of light.
I like to watch grey ghosty vandals scout,
Mysterious and stealthy, still as Death,
In swirling shrouds and padded sandals rout
Each vainly struggling, feeble sunbeam wraith,
Blowing the city's gold-tipped candles out
With all engulfing, gusty, misty breath.
