CLOUD by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: GRAY CLOUDS ACROSS THE BLUE THAT SMILED
Last Line: ON BLUE OF YOURS HAVE LEAVE TO LIE?
Subject(s): CLOUDS; SKY;
GRAY clouds across the blue that smiled
Their shadow reach.
Reluctant Life to every child
Has tears to teach.

But oh, my sweet, my tender sky,
By heaven allowed,
Shall any cloud
On blue of yours have leave to lie?
