Ode To Cloud

??????? Thou airy ship, thou whitish mist! Thou float on ocean and the dale Thou art a painting by my Lord! A painting which is not for sale Thou sooth the hearts of all on earth Thou heaths and meadows irrigate Thy castle is in airy field From earth and heaven isolate O sailing boat, o shroud of earth Thou child of sky and forlorn sea Thou fly with gales soon after birth O thou that in a wink can flee Who lives in dark and whitish manse Who roar as lion in thy soft heart Who shine in golden hues in dense Who made their pictures by His heart O cloud all whitish gems of thee For thirsty earth are heaven's wine Thou art a ray of hope for me Thy breath with mine is intertwine She roams in several guise with thee This soul of mine with soul of thine At night I mount on Wordsworth hills They gazed at me with eyes cold Then wandered I in Cocker mouth And met the trees there centuries old Oh may that I could fly with thee And float on dales and vales and hills O may that I, with magic pen Compose a rhyme on daffodils That whisper in unended rows By ruins of ancient water mills Thou pour and pour that gems of thine On sand on land on dales and hills
