First Line: A purple cloud hangs half-way down
Last Line: That flows all round the world.
Alternate Author Name(s): Hedbrooke, Andrew
Subject(s): Winter
A PURPLE cloud hangs half-way down;
Sky, yellow gold below;
The naked trees, beyond the town,
Like masts against it show, --
Bare masts and spars of our earth-ship,
With shining snow-sails furled;
And through the sea of space we slip,
That flows all round the world.
