First Line: Come with me to wonderland, and in the azure sky
Last Line: And back of life's clouds the sun is still shining.
Subject(s): Clouds


Come with me to wonderland, and in the azure sky
Let your fancy have free reign as the clouds drift by.
How slowly they move on a warm summer day;
Like feathery billows they toss and they sway.
They are constantly changing in shape and design,
Now mountains are forming, now flowerets fine.
A huge throne whose monarch is wearing a crown
Is scarcely built up till it comes tumbling down.
And now in a meadow we see flocks of sheep,
And off in the distance, mountains rugged and steep.
Another time nature is boisterous and gay,
And lowering storm clouds rush on their way.
They are threatening and dark and fill us with fear,
But storms always scatter and soon disappear.
How like the clouds our lives are each day,
Sometimes thoughtful and solemn -- sometimes happy and gay.
Each cloud in the sky has its own silver lining,
And back of life's clouds the sun is still shining.
