Chromatic Cycle

The colour of Summer is blue; A sea of bluebells in the wood, Blue sky, blue sea and blue lake too, Light breeze, hot sun and all is good. The colour of Autumn is gold; A warm glow from the sinking sun, Shortening days, the year grows old; Soon frost and fog : Summer is done. The colour of Winter is grey; A monochrome landscape. No light. A dark and drear December day; Low-lying cloud, continuous night. The colour of Springtime is green; New buds on bushes bursting forth. So restful, calming is this scene, Nature awakes ! A bright re-birth.
